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?

reviewed Narrow Road Between Desires by Patrick Rothfuss (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #0.6)

The tone of good matured mischief, that prevails even through the serious bits makes this a wonderful cozy read.

I hardly remember anything about the plot and characters of The Name of the Wind. But I remember it being fun to read.

The Narrow Road Between Desires follows Bast, a character I don't recall and it's a tun of fun to read.

I guess I'm missing some context, but this is great even as a standalone.

The tone of good matured mischief, that prevails even through the serious bits makes this a wonderful cozy read.
