Edgedancer is a novella taking place between Words of Radiance and Oathbringer, and it gives you both more of an insight into Lift as a character as well as Nale and his mission to find and eliminate Knight Radiants…Knights Radiant? I don’t know..

I liked this novella overall, but I’m also not insanely crazy about it.

I think that it doesn’t help that I’ve read The Emperor’s Soul and even though that’s not in the same series, it’s an absolute BANGER of a novella.

But this was fine, and I do feel like we finally started to get more depth to Lift beyond just being an annoying child.

I also liked the widening of the world building with getting a look at the plight of refugees in another city. Even though it’s a different city in the next book, we get a glimpse of this as well in Oathbringer so it feels like a good leadup to that.

Overall, though, it’s not entirely necessary to read this, which on one hand is great because it’s less to read but on the other hand, I wish it had just a little bit more importance.

So, all that to say that this novella was fine. It did its job but that was kind of it.

I thought I’d be annoyed at reading a novella centered around Lift, as she can be quite a nuisance and a bit extra, but instead I quite liked this as she grows on you. I also really liked reading more about Darkness (I was so fascinated by his itty bitty bit in Words of Radiance) and Wyndle made me laugh, too.
