Story
Simon is the best delivery boy that Mr Edwards’s restaurant has ever had. He’s on time every time, and he’s gotten nothing but good reviews. But he needs more money. His mother’s medical treatment won’t pay for itself, and his father is already working three jobs to try to make ends meet. But it might just be his lucky day: Mr. Edwards has another job for him. It’s more delivery work, but not the usual kind. You might even say that it’s out of this world. Oh well. Beggars can’t be choosers, and the pay is fantastic.

Humor and drawing you into an interesting world
Reviewed: 03-15-25
This story draws you in by describing a curious world (well, multiverse actually), and it does so effectively by adding a large dose of humor. I can't wait for the next book in the series!

Story
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.

Nice story, but poor narrator
Reviewed: 12-20-23
The story is a nice expansion of "the lightning tree". It's nearly the same story but fleshed out quite a bit.
But what's with this narrator? The voices are over-the-top and some actually contradict with what we know of the characters, such as Kvothe's voice. Rupert also has an annoying intentional disregard for punctuation sometimes.
I feel that the narrator takes way too much liberty in changing the story and characters through his telling. That's too bad, I enjoyed the story much less because of it.
I really hope there will be another recording of the book with Nick Podehl as narrator. Or maybe Patrick Rothfuss himself as his performance of "the lightning tree" was great.
