The Narrow Road Between Desires by Patrick Rothfuss ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I enjoyed this more than I expected and it reminded me that It’s now how Rothfuss writes that annoys me, it’s that he doesn’t do enough of it. This side story from the Kingkiller chronicles was originally published as a short story and was expanded into novella length. It’s about Kvothe’s assistant Bast, and shows a bit from his life away from the Inn interacting with the locals. And it also incudes excellent illustrations by Nate Taylor.
