A Goodreads user asked this question about The Slow Regard of Silent Things (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #2.5):

I have read both of his other books, and I would be very lost without having read at least his first book.

This book is not really a stand-a-lone book. So read Name of the Wind before this.(less)
