The University, a renowned bastion of knowledge, attracts the brightest minds to unravel the mysteries of enlightened sciences like artificing and alchemy. Yet deep below its bustling halls lies a complex and cavernous maze of abandoned rooms and ancient passageways - and in the heart of it all lives Auri. Formerly a student at the University, now Auri spends her days tending the world around her. She has learned that some mysteries are best left settled and safe. No longer fooled by the sharp rationality so treasured by the University, Auri sees beyond the surface of things, into subtle dangers and hidden names. At once joyous and haunting, THE SLOW REGARD OF SILENT THINGS is a rich, atmospheric and lyrical tale, featuring one of the most beloved characters from Rothfuss' acclaimed fantasy series.

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.
