"A short-story set in The Kingkiller Chronicles, world, following Auri, the curiously broken but heart-wrenchingly gentle girl whom Kvothe befriends. Though the story was as vague and confusing as Auri, it was interesting to see the University from her eyes."  ⭐⭐⭐ Pros:  We know now that Auri was once a student at the University, or at least knew Mandrag, Headmaster of Alchemy. Cons:  We were given the briefest, barest, whisper of glimpses into Auri's past and I so wanted to know more but at the same time, Auri's brokenness is part of her draw.  Full Review:   ***Disclaimer***If you have not read The Name of the Wind or The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss, please do so and then come back and read this at your leisure. That way you'll know what I'm talking about 🙌.*** Auri awakens and knows that he'll come and visit in 7 days.  She knows she doesn't have much time. There are Searching Days and Finding Days and Waiting Days, so many days and so ...

"Day 2 of The Kingkiller Chronicles has us hearing of more trials and tricks at the University. Kvothe's surprising time as a Mercenary and of course, his eternal back and forth with Denna. It all kind of ends on an unfinished note, so I'm eager to see how the series progresses. Rothfuss has truly made a legend of Kvothe, not just for his escapades but for also being a genuinely good person. The Kingkiller Chronicles is a staple in Fantasy, for me."  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pros: Bast, he has a dark side but at the same time I'm terribly curious as to how he and Kvothe met/The interludes are a welcome break.  Cons: Kvothe's time with the Ademre mercenaries and learning their martial arts style of the Way of the Sword just dragged for me/Kvothe and Denna's constant back and forth can get tiring.  Full Review:  ***Disclaimer - If you have not read The Name of the Wind  by Patrick Rothfuss, please do so and then feel free to read this post at your leisure. That way, you'll ...

​“Kvothe Kingkiller, Kvothe the Arcane, Kvothe the Bloodless, all legends, myths and all true, to a certain degree. As told in Kvothe's own words, we learn the origins of such an epic figure and Rothfuss does not disappoint." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pros: I love the small bits of genuine kindness that Rothfuss sprinkles through Kvothes otherwise, rather troubling and traumatic life/Bast 🙌💯 Con: Kvothe really was a bit clueless at times, especially with Denna. Of course he was just a 14-year-old boy so that must be taken into account. Full Review:  Kote is the Innkeeper at The Waystone Inn. An unassuming, pleasant little watering hole that has its handful of regulars. There's the usual talk, of how the roads are bad and times aren't what they were. That is, until the night one of the men brings in the body of something that attacked him on the road. It's a crackling, exo-skeleton, creepy Spider Demon.  All the men are frightened and Kote is silent.  A day or so later, Devan, ...
