Pretty decent story and it is definitely a Sanderson but it felt like he pulled a little too much inspiration from the Enders Game series because there were straight up some things that were the exact same concept under a different name. I admit originality is not one of the things this book has going for it. A decent YA story though.

Probably the best YA book I've read so far? Still had some of the genre conventions I've started to grow tired of (such as the school trope) but ole BrandoSando made it feel fresh enough that it wasn't that noticeable.
Spensa's great. Love her arc. One of the best takes on the "breaking your character down" arc I've read.

Skyward
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
«How is it even possible that a book like this even exists. I can’t even begin to describe how good this book was, and omg I can’t wait to read the next!!»
Review:
Okey, I just want to start off with; wow, this was amazing!
Since I haven’t read sci-fi before, I was therefore nervous about exploring this new world, and omg I’m so happy I did!
This book was so good that I couldn’t put it down at times and I just had to read more. It was so full of action, there are Krell attacks just around the corner, or as a true book lover would say, when you turn to the next page.
I can’t begin to explain how
funny this book was, I probably sat laughing every now and then, I can’t describe the look on people’s faces when they looked at me.
I loved Doomslug and M-bot, they are the best side characters I’ve ever read about and I can’t forget to mention how hard I laughed at them when something they did or said was extremely funny.
I was kind of sensing a hate to love relationship between Jerkface and Spin, but it ended at friendly, for now. I don’t think I can keep my hopes down because I’m already wishing for it too badly, please don’t disappoint me!
When their flight started loosing pilots I was surprised by my own sadness. I didn’t know that I already was connected to them and therefore the shock of losing Bim and Morningtide struck me hard. When more people of their flight died or quit I couldn’t keep myself together, I just wanted them as a team, together so I could laugh at their clumsiness when they, as in the start of the book, sat practicing flight simulations.
I as I reader always like to know the enemy well, and that’s why it was quite confusing not knowing anything at all about these creatures called the Krell.
I have to confess that when I passed a hundred pages I had already placed Skyward in my fav bookshelf and settled my thoughts on a high star rating. Fortunately the book for me only got better and better. This is definitely a book I’m going to reread multiple times and it gets my mood up if I’m feeling down too.

I listened to this on audio and I loved the narrator. This was such an absorbing story, exciting and funny. The FMC grew so much and I am curious to see where the story goes from here.
