“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.”
