The marketing people arent going to like this. My editor is going to have a fit. But Id rather be honest with you right out of the gate.First if you havent read my other books you dont want to start here.My first two books are The Name of the Wind and The Wise Mans Fear. If youre curious to try my writing start there. Theyre the best introduction to my world. This book deals with Auri one of the characters from that series. Without the context of those books youre probably going to feel pretty lost.Second even if you have read my other books I think its only fair to warn you that this is a bit of a strange story. I dont go in for spoilers but suffice to say that this one is ... different. It doesnt do a lot of the things a classic story is supposed to do. And if youre looking for a continuation of Kvothes storyline youre not going to find it here.On the other hand if youd like to learn more about Auri this story has a lot to offer. If you love words and mysteries and secrets. If youre curious about the Underthing and alchemy. If you want to know more about the hidden turnings of my world...Well then this book might be for you.
