A review by justgivemeacake
The Lightning Tree by Patrick Rothfuss

2.5

I think I don’t see the purpose of this short story, which is a shame because this is one of my favourite written worlds and Bast is an intriguing character. 

The writing itself is very good and it can make you feel like you’re in that summer forest  yourself, but unfortunately this is one of the prime examples of no plot, just vibes and it didn’t work for me for this type of story. 

I didn’t know that the Rothfuss’ latest release is an expansion of this novella, so I will read that in the future and hopefully it will have some more substance to it.
