The sheer depth and quality of it, especially the world-building is staggering. Lift or no Lift (though I'll hate every minute featuring her).įine, 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. I read through Danaerys' flip-flopping in Mereen and am hoping against hope that she poops herself to death in a ditch. 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. 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.
Our boy Sanderson likes his Deus Ex Machina, but this time it seems that he didn't even bother to try. Lift is like a bad, bad D&D character played by someone who does not know how to share the table. 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.
