⚠️ESTA REVIEW CONTIENE SPOILERS⚠️
Fan fan fan fan fan 100% incondicional de este libro y cada vez más fan de Sanderson. Cuando pienso que no puede gustarme más, leo otro de sus libros y me deja sin palabras.
Spensa es un personaje TAN bueno y un claro ejemplo de nunca rendirse y M-Bot es lo mejor del libro🖤.
Quiero ver cómo va evolucionando la relación de Jorgen y Spensa y ver a Gali convertirse en el mejor ingeniero.
Me ha dado mucha pena lo de Arcada pero, a la vez, me ha encantado cómo al final trabajan todos en equipo🥰.
Este libro es más bien introductorio y me ha encantado, pero sé que los demás van a ser igual de buenos o incluso mejores. No puedo esperar más a leerme el siguiente💜

I didn’t like the main character or writing style at first, but both grew on me greatly towards the end. I can’t wait to read the next

I think I'm going to need a minute to recover after reading Skyward.
Is it weird that I kinda wanna go down in a blaze of glory fighting the krell just so Spensa can come give me a hero's funeral?
I love Sanderson's books so much. He's truly a master of storytelling. He's a world-builder at heart and he weaves details into a plot in a way that feels so effortless. All of these tiny, unassuming details stack on top of each other until you have this entire world with customs and ideas - you start to find yourself being able to anticipate reactions based on a shared history that you now know about, and he does that without going into long monologues on history or making it feel laborious to read.
And his characters are so lovable. Spensa is no different. I absolutely fell in love with her and doomslug. He has a way of making characters relatable even if you don't really have anything in common with them. It's not about the commonality, it's about telling the story in a way that makes you understand a character's reactions and even come to sympathize with them (even when they're wrong.) It makes the tough times hit harder and it makes you become invested in the outcome.
This is the most epic spin on the boy-and-his-dragon trope I've ever read and I'm fantastically in love with it. I'm just ashamed I didn't read this when I got it in a book subscription box a few years ago right after it was published.

This entire book is about a young girl flying a spaceship and fighting against an enemy force. They are actively at war. Main characters die, the young girl and several other characters process their grief and guilt on page, and there are somewhat graphic descriptions of violence, hazing, and bullying.nightstitch96's review against another edition
