In the words of gawx: “Lift is smart” (his advisors tell him something dumb she did) “She’s not that kind of smart, she’s the other kind.” 😂 Love me some lift. Her and the Assassin being a duo was hilarious at the end of oathbringer

11:47 Look into the resonance of Edgedancers. Didn’t surprise me at all. Sanderson has done amazing work with the Knight Radiants

I like Lift, but then I'm pretty immature myself, so I can relate to her. You guys are just to sophisticated.

So sad you guys don't like Lift but I get it - she's pretty unpopular with a lot of fans. She's one of my favourite characters and to be honest her presence saves parts of Oathbringer and Rhythm of War for me. I love her interactions with Dalinar and Szeth so much . the way she and Szeth interact in Oathbringer is epic. She's so matter of fact, unimpressed by things and just normal and matter of fact. I find her really lovable that in a world of epic larger than life gods and heroes, she's just a good person.

Maybe she will grow on us more as we continue the reread! Thanks for sharing your thoughts too!

edgedancer was my first book read in English, so... I understood 50%. But the ending was really cool, the herald appearing and everything

Thanks for sharing!! What’s your rating? 🧐

@@NextChapterYT uhm.. I’ve never rated the other books, so an Edgedancer rating would sort of exist in a vacuum, but I’d go with an 8. It’s not a mindblowing or groundbreaking story, but I love the characters, the humor, the depth that we see glimpses of, the extended worldbuilding, and I had a great time throughout.

I’m not 100 percent but I’m pretty sure that Lift is one of the three that cultivation granted the boon for. Dalinar and taravangian are the other two and we have seen go crazy it has gotten with both of them so I’m excited to see the shenanigans at play with lift

I still think there is a lot to Lift’s boon that we still need to learn! Plenty of twists and turns incoming im sure ;)

Interesting take ! I actually loved this book, because Lift's brand of goofiness is deligthful to me. I would rate it lower than the main novels (7.0) but I still enjoyed a lot the setting and the insight we get about Nale. Edit : Haha you missed the edit at the end, this is great :D

@NextChapterYT 3 ай бұрын

Hahaha 😂 we just realized this too, free behind the scenes for our early listeners 😅😉 Also definitely agree about Nale! Thought that was fascinating as well!

Hey, I think you have misunderstood a bit. Lift went to the Nightwatcher, but then was blessed by Cultivation, not the Nightwatcher. So she is still aging and changing.

Also, Nightblood can’t decide who is good and evil. It tries to attack everyone but the holder when unleashed and also kills the holder because it feeds on investiture. That is why Lift and Szechuan can hold the sword for a time, because they can take in stormlight for Nightblood to feed on, but when it runs out, it feeds on the investiture of the soul.
