Skyward by Brandon Sanderson

adventurous challenging funny fast-paced

5.0

I wasn’t as nervous about this compared to when I first got this book. Now I’ve read a few Sanderson books so I know what to expect. Although I was interested to see how the writing would be different compared to his adult work.

This was fast paced. I flew through this. Not wanting to put it down. The Science wasn’t too heavy. It was east to understand without info dumps. Which I was thankful for.

Spin was relatable in some ways. How angry she was when it came to her father. How she was unfairly treated differently just because of what he did. Even if she was possibly a little too much at times. I still enjoyed her character and interested to see where her character goes next.

Doomslug and M-Bot need honorable mentions. M-Bot personality and interactions with Spin made me laugh at times.

I liked the no romance. Instead focusing on Spin and her quests and story. Of her finding answers to her fathers past and having to overcome being held down/back.

Sanderson continues to not disappoint. Science fiction isn’t a strong genre for me but this was a quick easy read. I never felt confused or lost. I’m just left wanting more straight away. I’m glad book two is already out I just need to buy it.
