Deep below the University, there is a dark place. Few people know of it: a broken web of ancient passageways and abandoned rooms. A young woman lives there, tucked among the sprawling tunnels of the Underthing, snug in the heart of this forgotten place.
Her name is Auri, and she is full of mysteries.
The Slow Regard of Silent Things is a brief, bittersweet glimpse of Auri’s life, a small adventure all her own. At once joyous and haunting, this story offers a chance to see the world through Auri’s eyes. And it gives the reader a chance to learn things that only Auri knows....
In this book, Patrick Rothfuss brings us into the world of one of The Kingkiller Chronicle’s most enigmatic characters. Full of secrets and mysteries, The Slow Regard of Silent Things is the story of a broken girl trying to live in a broken world.

I love Auri, but I just couldn't finish this book after finding out nothing really happens except her wandering around in the world she lives in. It was good for the first 50 pages and then it got old since the rest of it is the same.
Do not read this first.
If you already love the world where Name of the Wind is set, read this.
Rothfuss lets us into Aria's underthing, into her very true self. It's a short and sweet side story.
A lovely little story about the most charming and kind character in the series.
