I definitely picked up this book because it was small enough
to fit in my pocket book and it was in brand new condition. I had never heard of the author before this.
It is mysteriously written, as the character, Auri, is
mysterious to the reader. You don’t know
where she comes from but you learn that she lives underground, she follows the underground
pipes to go from place to place and she has names for the rooms she visits.
So the author has a disclaimer in the beginning of the book
that you probably should read his two previous books to understand this one. So you know where I’m heading…
I continued to read this one anyway. In this story we are never told why Auri
lives underground. Each day has a
different name such as mending day, finding day, etc.
Auri has seven days to prepare for a visitor. The book ends with
Auri still waiting.
The other two books are The Name of the Wind AND The Wise
Man’s Fear.
Stay tuned for those postings!
