About this listen
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?
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Well done, Pat 👏🏼
Another beautiful book, obviously much shorter than the two main KKC’s so far. A great insight into Bast outside of what we’ve already learned about him whilst listening to Kvothe tell his awesome story. Bast has a good heart ❤️

Narrator
I love this story, Amazing day in the life of Bast, reworked enough to make a difference from the Rouges version. Wonderful narration. I absolutely loved the author note, bought a tear to my eye. 11/10.

Such a beautiful story.
The story about one of King Killers most intriguing and mysterious characters did not disappoint. Seeing what Bast gets up to day to day around the town of Newarre adds so much richness to the world & it’s characters. Sweet, intriguing and mysterious, I was riveted to the end. If your a fan of Patrick Rothfuss this book is a must read.

Loved it!
Felt i had to leave a review.
Extremely well written book and amazing narration by Rubert. Had forgotten how good of a writer and storyteller Patrick is.
The authors cut aswell with the man himself narrating was well done imo. Now onto "The Doors Of Stone". Don't stress it, take all the time you need to make it to your satisfaction and I'm sure we'll all love it too.

brilliant writing
I really enjoyed this,was certainly different and twisty but I'd like the 3rd part of "the name of the wind" trilogy to be released sometime before I expire.
