Wow I’m in that book fog. Finished this arch of the story and just feel drained. While not the best book in the series in my opinion I still enjoyed it. Going to feel rough to wait 10 years (IRL time) for the next visit to main story Roshar. Hopefully the planned novellas and possibly some hints in other Cosmere works will scratch the itch.
Thanks for that.
I did read Edge Dancer before Oathbringer. I have to admit that I really just wanted to move on with the story though. There were little gems of worth in the book, but the character of Lift was a most challenging read. Almost painful.
Happy to help! I’ve been involved in the Cosmere fandom for… Way too long now.
Lift is pretty divisive, so I don’t blame you. She’s supposed to be the main character for book 6. Hopefully she matures a bit during the time jump after book 5 (promise this isn’t a spoiler, it’s been planned this way since the beginning) because otherwise 1k+ pages of her is gonna be grating.
Again not spoiling, but her flashbacks could be interesting, ie: visiting the nightwatcher, stuff with her mom, etc.
Dawnshard is definitely the better of the Stormlight novellas. It’s a fun sailing adventure about Rysn. Definitely pick it up after OB.
Thank you. 💜
