The Slow Regard of Silent Things

Yes, it was different than what I'd expected.

I knew before diving in that it's be different. It wasn't what I'd expected. I wished it would've cast light on any of the possible mysteries in the main story. But it didn't. If it did I missed it.

The odd thing is that I don't dislike the story. I liked reading about her world. She is a unique spirit. She's a “namer of things” which I liked, and her odd way was engaging. I ended up forgetting about kvothe and wondering more about what was going on under the university long before it came to be a university. My questions don't get answered. And, still it was okay.

I find myself really respecting this author‘s creative choice. He shares his reason in the author notes. That alone was an interesting read.

To me, this is a beautiful story that is cut off from Kvothe's world. At least that's what it seems like.

I don't think we'll get another king killer story, I really wish we would though. This was a wonderful world that was nearly completely created.
