I originally wasn't sure if I actually needed to read this before Oathbringer, and I'm still unsure of the implications and importance of the events yet. Things came together mostly at the 80% mark. This really is a novella meant to introduce you to Lift and her Spren Wyndle.
I wouldn't say Lift is my favorite character, but she is spunky and fun to read about. Wondering how she will fit into the full series later.
Mostly listened to this on audiobook while multitasking, so I didn't find it hard to get through.

I'm tired of primarily white fantasy authors leaning heavily on disability, particularly learning disability or Down's Syndrome as a way to show Tolerance and Intolerance and deal with Otherness. The way they are described is always so tropeful and harmful, since the authors are trying not to use any science words. It's just upsetting.
Thousands of disabled people are killed by the hands of their carers every day. It's a terrifying and unacknowledged genocide. It should not be used as a casual plot point. I'm tired of it.
Less important, hearing someone read aloud the inane shit Lift says makes it sound as inane as it is. I was gonna scream if i heard another "starvin'"
