i read these last year on the reccommendation of a friend and they were brilliant. there is a short story out based in the same world, its about Auri. its called the slow regard of silent things. if Pat can get the next one done soon i will be very happy 🙂
you can read it whenever as you have read the first 2 books. it has an overarching story that involves Kvothe but hes not actually in it. it just gives some more insight into the rather disturbed but very gifted head of Auri
