A whole novella of one of my favorite side characters in the series! YES PLEASE.

Lift is such a fun (awesome) character but her role in the main plot is just in passing. Here we get to explore some of her backstory, meet one of the cultures of Roshar which has been left in the background until now, and spend some time with a herald. It's a really fun story with plenty of humor, action, and insight.

As I mentioned with Dawnshard, the novellas to the Stormlight Archive are all worth reading. Do yourself the favor of checking this one out. ( )

I love to read about Lift ( )

This was an enjoyable read from Brandon Sanderson. Edgedancer is not mind-blowing, but contains some satisfying character arcs together with what is some impressive world building for a novella of this length, and certainly is a change of pace from the weighty tomes of The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance.

I can definitely see why some of the plot and character development here will be important for the rest of the Stormlight Archive. After her first introduction in Words of Radiance and now her further adventures here, I'm quite interested to see the 'significant' role that Sanderson has planned for Lift later in the series, even though at this stage, I find myself more intrigued by what her experiences and abilities mean for the Knights Radiant and the overall plot of the Stormlight Archive as a whole, rather than being really drawn to or invested in her as a protagonist. I didn't have the same issues with her character generally like some people seem to do so, but can understand that if someone came to Edgedancer from the main series expecting a Kaladin or Dalinar tone, this book would have been a surprise.

After this meaningful little jaunt to to Azir and Tashikk, it's time to get back to the big storyline with Oathbringer. ( )

i love lift. i read the SA before i read this one, and while i liked her a lot then, i can now say i love her. i laughed out loud so much while reading this (outside on my front porch, the neighbors must think i’m crazy). ( )

Awesome novella that covered an interesting character. ( )
