EDGEDANCER The Stormlight Archive

This program—dubbed “a movie in your mind” by the publisher—is one of the most immersive audio experiences available. Expanding on the character Lift’s story, this STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE novella ties up some loose ends between WORDS OF RADIANCE and OATHBRINGER. Narrated by Terence Aselford and a full cast, the story comes alive with background music and stimulating sound effects such as feet pounding on the pavement and crashes of thunder. Audiobooks are already quite evocative, but GraphicAudio offers so much animation that it’s next-level. Sanderson’s writing begs for this format with its memorable characters, witty dialogue, and expansive world-building. Listeners should hang on to their earbuds for this one—it’s an EXPERIENCE.
