The Narrow Road Between Desires
ByPublisher Description
An instant New York Times, USA Today and Indie Bestseller!
#1 New York Times-bestselling phenomenon Patrick Rothfuss returns to the wildly popular Kingkiller Chronicle universe with a stunning reimagining of "The Lightning Tree." Expanded to twice its previous length and lavishly illustrated by Nate Taylor, this touching stand-alone story is sure to please new readers and veteran Rothfuss fans alike.
Bast knows how to bargain. The give-and-take of a negotiation is as familiar to him as the in-and-out of breathing; to watch him trade is to watch an artist at work. But even a master's brush can slip. When he accepts a gift, taking something for nothing, Bast's whole world is knocked askew, for he knows how to bargain—but not how to owe.
From dawn to midnight over the course of a single day, follow the Kingkiller Chronicle's most charming fae as he schemes and sneaks, dancing into trouble and back out again with uncanny grace.
The Narrow Road Between Desires is Bast's story. In it he traces the old ways of making and breaking, following his heart even when doing so goes against his better judgement.
After all, what good is caution if it keeps him from danger and delight?

“I have mixed feelings about this novela.
I like Bast—I really do. This book gave me more of him, showing that yes, he’s fae, but he also has a heart. But… I already knew that. His devotion to Kvothe already made that clear. So while I enjoyed the novella, it didn’t really offer anything new.
It’s well-written (because, of course, it’s Rothfuss), but if you were hoping for fresh insights or a deeper dive into the world, you might walk away feeling a little underwhelmed. He did address this in his foreword and author's note, so this should curb your expectations as well.”

“Not much happens in these fun little novellas Patrick writes about characters from his main kingkiller series. And that's okay, fun read and he writes it well.
I don't know how much you could enjoy it with out the context of his main books, as i have the context and know rhese characters i personally enjoy it, so all I can see is - definitely worth a read if you are one of the many people "patiently" waiting for the trilogy finale!!!”
