“In low tones, author and narrator Patrick Rothfuss takes listeners through the unique ins and outs of his fantasy world. Auri is an ethereal being who has a highly empathetic relationship with animate and inanimate objects. A tiny green light named Foxen is her constant companion. Rothfuss projects a fatherly love for Auri as his pace quickens during her moments of joy and slows during her reflective periods. His voice lowers to a reverential hush when she finds a home for a lost object in the maze of underground passages she inhabits. This quietly musing story requires patience but proves worthy of listening as Rothfuss embellishes each exquisite moment.”

About Patrick Rothfuss
Patrick Rothfuss was born in Wisconsin where long winters and lack of cable television brought about a love of reading and writing. His mother read to him as a child, and his father taught him to build things. He still lives in central Wisconsin, still lacks cable television, teaches at the college he grew to love as a student, and the long winters force him to stay inside and write.
