About this audiobook

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.

Want to listen to a brash tween bicker with Alfred the butler spren for four hours? The last two hours had a mildly enjoyable short story. The prologue (WoR interlude repeat) and long stretch leading up to the last two hours were not enjoyable. Honestly, if I was impatiently waiting the 3 years between WoR and Oathbringer, I'd probably be happy for any Stormlight Archive related story in the meantime. Instead as I'm reading through after they've been released years ago, it's just an unwanted speed bump in the main story. I wish I had taken Brandon's own description of it as optional more at face value and hadn't let myself been swayed by the community's persuasion of how it depicted a character important to book 4 or 5 having a significant motivation change. That major change could've been described as simply as, "the character opened their eyes, saw the result of the Everstorm's impact, and said Oh, I was wrong."
