For context, I'm currently on the second book. Series impressions tend to change as the story either becomes more engaging and pulls a reader in or the opposite.

I did not find book one as engaging as the hunger games (most compared to in other reviews), yet it was decent if you're just looking for a new time killer. Good narration.

I did find certain elements extremely predictable and parts of the story sort of dragged a bit. Overall entertaining, but I can't quite understand the very high overall rating.

LOVED book 1. Enjoyed book 2, didn't love it, but was still very invested in the story of Kvothe.

Then book 2.5...this was a pretentious exercise in how great PR thinks he is with words. SO GREAT that he will deliver a story with no plot, where in his own words 'nothing happens'. He does enjoy alliteration though and seems to think the use of clever prose will compensate for a complete lack of content.

Now book 2.6...'things' happen, but nothing that sheds light on any character background or really adds to his world in any way. I would suggest skipping to the author note at the end and then deciding whether you think it worth a read/listen. He's very proud of his accomplishments in life and wants to reiterate that he considers himself to be very good with words and word play. It's also very evident that he has spent so long overthinking that he's lost sight of the actual story telling aspect and is living in some complete self-imposed, egocentric writers block.

Patrick - the story MATTERS. Prose can be crafty or straightforward. Some prefer one over the other, but it's the STORIES we remember!! You've lost that, unfortunately. I understand why kingkiller stopped where it did now. Please don't continue unless the story matters to you again and you're willing to drop this 'I'm so crafty and clever' BS. This is the mentality that's held you back from becoming great.

No plot whatsoever.

I liked auri in the original two books and was looking forward to this. Also looking forward to exploring the world of the underthing! But this is 3 hours of 'girl runs around in the dark and finds stuff' without further point, explanation, intrigue, or background.

Patrick REALLY likes alliteration...to the point that this feels like a pretentious exercise in pointless wordplay.

I can't believe I hadn't heard about these before - they were wonderful! I've heard they were companion stories to video games no longer available. Shame, it looks like they were great.

Title says it all. But this was wonderful. Definitely a darker story from Sando, but captivating.

Crazy good little audiobook that left me wanting hours and hours of this story! Sando - please do more if this!!
It definitely has warbreaker vibes, but a bit darker maybe. Loved it.

It's only the prologue. Saw it listed as book 12.5. Just get the gathering storm and you'll get this.

Like hours can go by where I've realized that I'm not even listening because the story is so damned dull. I'm just committed to finishing at this point, but will definitely need to read a recap to find out wth happened in this book.

But I would rate this book with negative numbers if I could. Nothing happens in this book. Just a WHOLE bunch of words and extremely uninteresting dialogue. The characters are SO unlikeable and uninteresting - single one of them, except maybe the myrddraal that appears here and there, but the author spent very little time on terribly writing this one, so the character has enough mystery to be *slightly* more interesting than the others. Anyway, it's so hard to pay attention to these books be sure I care so little about the story or any of the characters. PLEASE kill Nyneave in the next book so I don't have to listen to anymore of this awful crap. I'm only here to get to the Sando books. But if the next one on the series is this absolutely awful, I might just read the wiki pages and skip directly to the Sanderson contributions.

Nuff said. Love the story and couldn't have imagined reading RoW without this background for some of the characters that don't get as much time in the main works.
