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.

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!

Kate reading is actually good, for once

Kate Reading does a splendid job as Lift, really bringing the character to life, thankfully there aren't many large speaking parts of male characters, so Kate Reading really shone through in this one

Credit where credit is due, I think it's a perfect fit for Lift's character

Witty and heartwarming

I loved listening to this book after having listened to Oathbringer and Rhythm of War. Lift stood out as a cheeky girl forever hungry and witty, she quickly warmed her way to my heart. Edgedancer truly was a pleasure to discover and Lift is now one of my favourite characters in the series and of all time.

I thought the narrator did a wonderful job conveying her essence and I will be listening to the book over and over again in future. Thank you
