Personally, I didn’t think this piece was crucial to the main storyline but since she does become a bigger character in OATHBRINGER, I do understand the feel for it. I heard in the notes of one of the books (it’s been a couple months by now so I’m not entirely sure which one it was) that Brandon Sanderson felt that Lift was very important and wanted to include her actual sort of “origin story” with how she discovered and came into her abilities. I am glad to have this piece of world-building and character development but to have a whole story aside didn’t really seem to add that much to the current world that couldn’t have been included in OATHBRINGER.
… Except EDGEDANCER really wasn’t as important as I had hoped. LIft’s voice is young - a little too young for me, especially with the way that Kate Reading narrates it (I listened to the audiobook for all of the Stormlight Archive novels) - and I have a hard time with characters who are meant to intentionally sound young/uneducated/use a lot of slang so I knew it wasn’t going to be a… pleasant listen, but if there’s a practically full-length novella for a Brandon Sanderson series, obviously it’s important. Sooooo I didn’t like Lift’s interludes in WORDS OF RADIANCE so I was worried about reading this novella. The downtrodden in Yeddaw have no champion, and Lift knows she must seize this awesome responsibility. 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. Now, in Edgedancer, the barely teenage nascent Knight Radiant finds that time stands still for no one. Three years ago, Lift asked a goddess to stop her from growing older-a wish she believed was granted.
