Soooo. Day one bought oathbringer. First line is 'you really should read edge dancer'. Cant get it as not in U.S. Can only buy it in arcanum unbounded. Right... ive already purchased most of arcanum unbounded individually. The other novellas were available here, but not this one.  Start reading oathbringer only to find it has moved on a great deal and edge dancer is probably required. 

Either make edge dancer available in trotw or im done. Won't read oathbringer as there is no point. Will ask google to take it back. Probably going to give up on the rest of the cosmere as well. 

If you are going to do this, follow the expanse example and make it available world wide.

Edgedancer is fully optional. It's helpful in understanding one particular sub-plot, but Oathbringer was written with the fact that not everyone will read Edgedancer in mind. Book rights are weird, it's entirely possible that eventually it will come out in your market but it may take more time. If you're so frustrated by being unable to read it that you're done with Brandon's books entirely, I guess that's your prerogative. Arcanum Unbounded is awesome, and contains additional art and essays on every planet as well as Edgedancer, so I think it's quite a good deal and bought it myself, even though I already had access to all the other stories in some format. Some of the other stories were previously only digitally available, so I enjoyed a chance to get them in print. I'm sorry for your frustration though. :(

I'm having a hard time finding Oathbringer in Aus stores actually. Either sold out or beyond what I find is an acceptable price. Doesn't help that all local bookstores have shut down and the nearest one is a 30 min drive away. 

If you really want to Edgedancer, I would recommend borrowing AU from a library. I've seen it available at nearly all libraries I visit in Sydney. Shouldn't be too hard to find, and you can always ask your library to purchase it if it is not available. 

Also, @Wind Runner is correct in saying that it is not essential. Its a nice book, and I assume it will help when understanding Azir, Nale and Lift, but nothing critical occurs.
