The Narrow Road Between Desires

A short side-story from the Kingkiller Chronicles world, featuring Bast. I'm happy to see his character expanded a bit more, and showing a more cunning side of him rather than the servile character that he is in the mainline books. The story is quite short, and can be read in a single sitting, especially since there are some very nice illustrations in the book.
The author's introduction itself will caution you: If you haven't read the main books in the series, maybe don't read this one.
However, if you have read the In the Name of the Wind and Wise Man's Fear (which you have, haven't you? You should have.) then this is an absolutely great side story that gives you a glimpse into one of those characters you just can't wait to learn more about.
Even if you've read the short story (Lightning Tree) that this was based on, this is worth a read. Partly for the expansion, and partly for the art.
It won't take you long, and you'll enjoy the entire thing. Get going!
This man is so good with words only he should be allowed to describe it
