I mean this book pretty much hit every note for me, unlikely female heroines struggling against their fate, competition between students, training montages, talking spaceships and so much more. My first foray into the world of Sanderson. Because this ship, uniquely, appears to have a soul. When she discovers the wreckage of an ancient ship, she realizes this dream might be possible-assuming she can repair the ship, navigate flight school, and (perhaps most importantly) persuade the strange machine to help her. Spensa, a teenage girl living among them, longs to be a pilot.

Maybe I was making a mistake by choosing a science fiction novel written by someone so well known for fantasy, but who said reading was about making good decisions?ĭefeated, crushed, and driven almost to extinction, the remnants of the human race are trapped on a planet that is constantly attacked by mysterious alien starfighters. But since I’m now friends with some amazing humans who love his books I thought it was about time I followed their advice and read something he had written. I don’t know whether it was a timing thing, or a covers thing or something else entirely, but I never thought they would be books that would interest me. Small confession to make – I’ve never read any Brandon Sanderson before. Hello humans! it’s time for my spot on the Skyward Blog tour! There are some amazing other bloggers on this tour so I urge you all to go and check out each post!
