it's been a while since I last read The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear (I think it's been more than 10 years), but this little book made me want to read them again for the third time!
I really enjoy Patrick Rothfuss's writing - although to be honest I didn't particularly like The Slow Regard of Silent Things - and this novella has got me hooked again. An enjoyable and emotional read, I was tempted to reread it as soon as I finished, just to catch the little details that seemed irrelevant the first time, but weren't.
This one reignited my desire and excitement for the final book in the trilogy <3

Beinahe in einem Rutsch durchgelesen und bin berührt. Ich werde es sicherlich nochmal in die Hand nehmen.

This small self-contained addition to the Kingkiller Chronicle was quaint and pleasant but also fantastical and mischievous with flashes of darkness. Although I loved the other Kingkiller Chronicle books, it has been a while since I’ve read them and I was worried I might be lost reading this one but I think it was good on its own. I know there were a few things I missed that referred to the main story but I don’t think it detracted from my enjoyment of the story. All in all, it was a very quaint morsel of a story.
Read if you like whimsical mystic stories about flawed characters with a satisfying arc.

An absolutely lovely story that, like all of Pat Rothfuss’ writing, is a pleasure to read. It’s the written equivalent of a dessert with the most delicious mouth-feel. It’s almost not important what the story is actually about. But the story is also great. I’m continuously in awe of how Patrick Rothfuss avoids the same tired universe building of other fantasy stories, where the dips back into the world feel meaningful and self-justifying instead of boiling down to selling you more words that remind you of a different story you liked before. He seems to feel guilty for not writing more and not writing faster, but whatever his secret sauce is I’m glad he’s not running his ideas into the ground. It’s a pleasure to pop back in for a visit and this is a great example of that.

As stated in the Author's Note for this book, Bast is the good wolf. This book was essentially a day in the life of Bast. There were no conflicts or things to overcome. Just Bast trading secrets and favours with the townspeople's children - and even helping one to escape a bad domestic situation. It was a nice easy read with excellent illustrations provided by Nate Taylor.
