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.

Great character/world development

I love that this novella covers more of the Heralds and the order of the Skybreakers. What a fascinating universe Sanderson has created for us in his Cosmos. If you haven’t read the Mistborn series, it is easily as good as the Stormlight archive.

I’m not a huge fan of Kate’s over-annunciations, but she does a good job of voicing the different characters. Sometimes I have to stop listening to her because it’s too slow amongst other things. I wish that between her and Michael Kramer, they would sit down and agree on the annunciation of names and phrases for some consistency between the readings of the main Stormlight stories. Especially names.

I absolutely cannot wait for Rhythm of War! Bring it on!

Lift is a great character

A nice fun adventure nestled between the serious nature of the other Stormlight Archive books.

Must Listen

If you're doing the series this interim is crucial. Not only that but it's a great story in its own.

Worth it

A shorter story but memorable characters and what feels like some crucial background for a number of characters. Adds more colour and depth o the world as well as giving Lift a change to slide into your heart before smacking into something. Definitely worth the time and the narration is perfectly done and gripping the whole way through. If you've listened or the read the first two books treat yourself to an epic 6+ hours of side quest

Quirky, fun and surprisingly touching

As simple an irreverent as the Stormlight books are complex and serious. A lovely interlude!
