Moderate: Auri's unusual relationship with the world and her solitary existence suggest a mind shaped by significant past trauma — obliquely rendered
What this book is about
A novella in the Kingkiller Chronicle universe following Auri — the mysterious girl who lives alone in the tunnels beneath the University — through seven days of her solitary existence as she prepares for a visit she is expecting. Rothfuss's prose is lyrical and strange; the novella is less a story than a meditation on a particular kind of mind and a particular relationship with the world. Not an entry point to the series — but for fans, a quietly beautiful glimpse into a fascinating character.
