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

I liked that we learned more about Lift and her background, but I kind of felt myself zoning out a couple times while listening to the audiobook. It wasn't because it was boring or anything I just couldn't really get into Lift's story, yet like I was really hoping I would.

This was a very short and sweet novel, giving background to a side character from book 2 of stormlight archive, lift is very funny and I'm super intrigued to see her develop her powers and take her oaths

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