Short, sweet, and funny, but also adressing an abusive relationship I wasn't expecting. I forgot how funny Rothfuss' writing can be. Bast is a delight.

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.

Like anything written by Rothfuss, this book is beautiful. Despite the themes I've added to the content warnings, it's mostly a charming and clever book, filled with mysteries and (some) answers.
Bonus points for being explicitly trans supportive, twice, and for making Bast's obviously fluid sexuality canon. The best thing about it is the language/prose, though. This little book was everything I wanted and more.
