Story
Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. Caught in one feud too many, he's on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian - leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies. Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle. But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Not for everybody (at least not for me)
You know how a character in a book, play or movie can really rub you the wrong way? They are so annoying that they actively turn you off the media they appear in? Lift, the protagonist of this novella, is that for me.
Lift is like a bad, bad D&D character played by someone who does not know how to share the table. The writing itself also felt super lazy. Our boy Sanderson likes his Deus Ex Machina, but this time it seems that he didn't even bother to try.
The epilogue revealing the authors love for the character and the plans of a greater involvement of her in the story onwards made me regret having already bought Oathbringer.
This was a painful listen and based upon how much Lift is a part of Oathbringer and how her chapters are spaced, I might not finish Oathbringer.
edit: Who am I kidding. I read through Danaerys' flip-flopping in Mereen and am hoping against hope that she poops herself to death in a ditch. I'm a glutton for punishment. I'll finish this series as well. Lift or no Lift (though I'll hate every minute featuring her).

So Burn Me as a Heretic!
Fine, just tie me to a stake, light the fire and give me my just desserts because though I am of sane mind I am going to criticise one of Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight books! In my defence I already think that the Stormlight Archive is one of the very finest examples of epic fantasy ever produced - and apparently we're not even halfway through it. The sheer depth and quality of it, especially the world-building is staggering.
What makes this even more bizarre is that it's also, I think, one of the best performances I have heard from Kate Reading. I've always thought she was at her best with dialogue rather than narrative and this is dialogue heavy. She really seemed to enjoyed reading it, I felt there was a bit of extra oomph to her delivery. It was also cool to hear a story set in among those grandiose events covered by the Stormlight Archive books and to see a little more of some of the well-known characters who play small parts in Lift's story.
So what's not to like? Well to me it really lacked a lot of what's great about the main sequence of the Stormlight Archives. That hasn't been scared to include some humour but this story felt more like a young adult type of heroine with the humour to match and some of it grew pretty old pretty quickly for me. The awkward relationship between Lift and her bonded spren was the cornerstone but Sanderson has done that concept so much better before now.
What's more of course if you pay by credits forget this one and buy Arcanum Unbounded which is a complete collection of Sanderson stories including this one so represents much better value as a package.
So, there it is, go buy your wooden stake, faggots and matches if you have to but I'm sorry to say that this one just didn't cut it for me.
Simon the Heretic.

Awesome but already read in Arcanum Unbounded
As all other works of Brandon Sanderson this novella is amazing too! However, if you've listed to the first 2 Stormlight series books and to the Arcanum Unbounded then don't purchase this since there is zero new content introduced here.

young adult stormlight novella
Not the next stormlight archive book... my mistake. If you're a Terry Pratchett fan this is a bit like buying one of the Tiffany Aching books thinking it's the latest discworld novel. Somewhat entertaining, but with a faintly irritating, juvenile feel throughout. The main character's trite reflections on life are probably realistic for a thirteen year old, but a bit annoying if you are not 13 yourself.

On my oath..
In a time of stories that promote violence, lies and a lack or resolution and hope, your stories are a refreshing change and a joy to read. I believe cultural attitudes reflect the type of stories and media we expose ourselves to; and I have no hesitation to recommend your books to my children, friends and family. Keep up the great work Brandon!!

I've read all of Sanderson's books and this be felt very different and I really enjoyed it. Written from the view point if a child, it made for a funny yet sometimes frustrating storyline!! Lift is clearly smarter than she likes for people to know. i really look forward to hearing about how she develops as she learns more about her powers and the way if the world!

Waste of a credit
First hour and a bit is the section from Words Of Radience, so it’s actually a 5 hour book.
Lift isn’t a very exciting character in my opinion.
Audible should offer it for a few $$ instead of having it full price of a normal length book, it is after all, tiny.
Not worth it and not fundamental to the stormlight archive story.

Great character/world development
I love that this novella covers more of the Heralds and the order of the Skybreakers. What a fascinating universe Sanderson has created for us in his Cosmos. If you haven’t read the Mistborn series, it is easily as good as the Stormlight archive.
I’m not a huge fan of Kate’s over-annunciations, but she does a good job of voicing the different characters. Sometimes I have to stop listening to her because it’s too slow amongst other things. I wish that between her and Michael Kramer, they would sit down and agree on the annunciation of names and phrases for some consistency between the readings of the main Stormlight stories. Especially names.
I absolutely cannot wait for Rhythm of War! Bring it on!

Main character's immaturity is a stumbling block
Lift is supposed to be a thirteen year old girl. Yet the way she is voiced (possibly as a result of the writing too), she is portrayed as much less mature. Even accounting for her illiteracy, limited socialisation and desire not to age, she comes across as overly shallow/simple. Readers may find this character more engaging if/when she matures with the overall Stormlight narrative.

A little annoying
This novella didn't feel very engaging to me. Lift came across as annoying and obnoxious. One of those young naïve characters that everything seems to work out for. I guess I often felt a lot like Wyndle, but unlike Wyndle I wasn't committed to her. This book might be interesting for young readers or people who find young obnoxious characters interesting. There was some lore useful to know for the rest of Stormlight Archive. Kate's performance gave great energy but I found it hard to focus on what she was saying, kept drifting out.

There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Story
In a world full of super powers, Felix has a pretty crappy one. He has the ability to modify any item he owns. To upgrade anything. Sounds great on paper. Almost like a video game. Except that the amount of power it takes to actually change, modify, or upgrade anything worthwhile is beyond his abilities. With that in mind, Felix settled into a normal life. A normal job. His entire world changes when the city he lives in is taken over by a super villain. Becoming a country of one city. A city state.
