About this listen

AN EPIC STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE NOVELLA FROM THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON BEHIND THE COSMERE

Three years ago, Lift asked a goddess to stop her from growing older--a wish she believed was granted.

Now, in Edgedancer, the barely teenage nascent Knight Radiant finds that time stands still for no one. Although the young Azish emperor granted her safe haven from an executioner she knows only as Darkness, court life is suffocating the free-spirited Lift, who can't help heading to Yeddaw when she hears the relentless Darkness is there hunting people like her with budding powers.

The downtrodden in Yeddaw have no champion, and Lift knows she must seize this awesome responsibility.

Side story with a soul

Awesome little deep dive into this characters story. Though missing the climatic battle scenes of the main narrative it makes up for it with soul. Superbly written and thoroughly enjoyable

Absolutely brilliant book.

Lyft is one of my favourite characters and Kate has done an amazing job presenting the work

Not for everybody (at least not for me)

You know how a character in a book, play or movie can really rub you the wrong way? They are so annoying that they actively turn you off the media they appear in? Lift, the protagonist of this novella, is that for me.

Lift is like a bad, bad D&D character played by someone who does not know how to share the table. The writing itself also felt super lazy. Our boy Sanderson likes his Deus Ex Machina, but this time it seems that he didn't even bother to try.

The epilogue revealing the authors love for the character and the plans of a greater involvement of her in the story onwards made me regret having already bought Oathbringer.

This was a painful listen and based upon how much Lift is a part of Oathbringer and how her chapters are spaced, I might not finish Oathbringer.

edit: Who am I kidding. I read through Danaerys' flip-flopping in Mereen and am hoping against hope that she poops herself to death in a ditch. I'm a glutton for punishment. I'll finish this series as well. Lift or no Lift (though I'll hate every minute featuring her).

You can skip this title without regret.

Very anoing main character, very little developments in the story. Just skip to Oathbringer and don't look back.

Worst book in the series (so far)

Dialogue is mind numbingly terrible. Story is subpar in comparison to the rest of the series. I wish I saved a credit and skipped this one.
