The tone and writing felt so different to the previous two. This is a YA series but this felt really childish/ridiculous. It pains me to say it but wow, this was not it.įirstly, this did not feel like a Brandon Sanderson novel? It was boring. This was probably my most anticipated read of the year and it is now my biggest disappointment of the year. The only way she can discover what she really is, though, is to leave behind all she knows and enter the Nowhere. And maybe, if she’s able to figure out what she is, she could be more than just another pilot in this unfolding war.

She faced down a Delver and saw something eerily familiar about it. Spensa knows that no matter how many pilots the DDF has, there is no defeating this predator.Įxcept that Spensa is Cytonic. Ancient, mysterious alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant.

And Spensa’s seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Now, the Superiority-the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life-has started a galaxy-wide war. What’s more, she travelled light-years from home as an undercover spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell-the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades.

Spensa’s life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary. You can click the titles for my reviews of those! Warning this review may spoil Skyward + Starsight
