Honestly? It feels like a cash grab. I got it from the library because I had suspicions. The meat of the sorry has been published before in The Lightning Tree. While it was decent and the additions helped round out the story. It's short, not really new, and nothing like the masterful work that is Slow Regard of Silent Things. It's no where near worth the price the publisher is asking for it. I probably won't purchase it like I have all the rest. I'm super disappointed in Rothfus currently. I know he's struggling to write/re-write/re-word/re-imaging the final book and I can imagine how tough that is. But he's used repeatedly undelivered promises related to the final book to push his charity and get questionable revenue from those initiatives. I want to still have hope in him and his integrity, but it's waning. Just my 2 cents.

I recently installed ProjectIvy launcher and I've been happy with it so far and there are no ads now.

This. ProjectIvy launcher on the Shield works wonders.

I have an Nvidia Shield and recently learned about alternative launchers to replace the stock android TV launcher and remove all the ads. I just installed ProjectIvy and it's amazing. Clean and simple and now there are no ads or banners or anything. Highly recommend it.
