Lift is a very enjoyable character to read, and Wyndle acts as a good foil. The plot is very well designed to fit within the wider sort but allow its characters agency.

As always, there’s great world building and the surges are great fun. Plus some serious tension surrounding Darkness and

the Sleepless who shows up suddenly but fits

A little sidequest for the Stormlight series. A super quick read and well worth the time. After reading Lift's interlude chapter in Words of Radiance, I'm super thrilled she got her own novella. She's an incredible character with surprising depth and an shocking amount of development within 200 pages.

Cute little novella that adds some good character background but nothing that blew me away. I find Lift half amusing and half annoying.

Watching Wyndle get exasperated and lose his cool when Lift refers to him as a "Voidbringer" is the funniest thing

4.0

On first read in 2017: 5 stars. That was starvin' awesome. My favorite from Arcanum Unbounded. I've really come to love Lift as a character, which surprises me because I found her obnoxious in her Words of Radiance interlude. But the development in this was just lovely. I can't wait for Oathbringer this fall!

2022 reread:

Overall rating: 4 stars

Style/writing: 3.5 stars
Themes: 4 stars

Plot: 4 stars
Worldbuilding: 4.5 stars
