A very solid addition to the Cosmere and to Stormlight Archive specifically.

 This book was a quick read, despite being 300 pages. It was a bit slow in places, but never dragged enough to be annoying.

I really liked how it portrayed the main character Rysn's disability (paraplegia), her feelings on it, and how she works to overcome it. I loved Lopen in this book and his big character moment was extremely enjoyable and satisfying to read. Rushu, Huio, Nikli, Yalb (he's back!!) and Chiri-Chiri of course were also great additions. 

I loved the ending of this book, which had a satisfying conclusion while also proposing more questions about the Cosmere and its occupants. Consider me successfully hooked; I'm very much looking forward to when those questions are answered. 

Overall, excellent book!

Rsyn was a fun character to follow for this little novella, I really enjoyed her pov. It definitely felt like a lot of things in this book will be important for like future future Cosmere stuff, like not even this series perhaps or like maybe the second series of Stormlight ........

Fun novella with new lore additions to the Stormlight Archives. I like Rysn and I’m glad she was the star of the show in this one. I enjoyed this more than Edgedancer!

Very excited to see how the dawnshard will be used to further the overall plot of this world, I know it's going to play a big role. It was nice to see some of the side characters get a starring role. I really liked the disability rep too
