Synopsis

#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, this touching stand-alone story is sure to please new readers and veteran Rothfuss fans alike.

No one taller than the stone.
Come to blacktree, come alone.
Tell no adult what’s been said,
Lest the lightning strike you dead.

Follow the Kingkiller Chronicle’s most charming fae as he schemes his way through the small town of Newarre. While Bast cares nothing for the laws of man, he is beholden to older, deeper laws. And despite his cleverness and care, Bast finds himself forced to choose between betraying his master and helping
a hated enemy.

Playful, sweet, and sly as Bast himself, The Narrow Road Between Desires explores a previously unseen part of Temerant, and shows a side of Bast we’ve only glimpsed before. Learn more about Bast as he goes against his better judgment and follows his heart’s desire. For after all, what good is wisdom if it keeps
you from finding your way to danger and delight?

Goodreads review by Robin on September 03, 2024

This book is not for everyone. (Hm. Didn't I just say that about another book?) Well, it's true. A book can rate a 5 star review from me and still not be for everyone. Patrick Rothfuss shares that opinion and says so in the introduction to his narrow volume. Who is this book for? Well, that's easy.......more

Goodreads review by jessica on May 20, 2024

while this release is a pleasant surprise, its definitely not the release that i (or probably many other rothfuss fans) was wanting. it unfortunately seems like the wait for book #3 will most likely last indefinitely. :/ that being said, i did enjoy this short novella. i already liked the original sh......more

My complete review is published at Grimdark Magazine. Patrick Rothfuss returns with The Narrow Road Between Desires, a poignant novella that takes place during the outer framing story of the Kingkiller Chronicle.

Goodreads review by Petrik on September 24, 2024

4.5/5 stars The Narrow Road Between Desires by Patrick Rothfuss is a potentially rewarding expansion to the already whimsical and beautiful novella, The Lightning Tree. The long silence of The Kingkiller Chronicle can only be broken by the creaking opening sound of The Doors of Stone, which to this da......more

Goodreads review by Joseph on July 10, 2023

It's my sincere hope that everyone who screams at Rothfuss for not rushing it and spending time with his kids and pausing to work on other things (which is often how the creative process works) never gets to read Doors Of Stone. Would I like to read DOS if it's finished in the future? Sure. But so m......more
