Evershore might be my favorite Skyward book.

I cannot believe I caught up on the entire Skyward series in less than two weeks! This series has solidified itself as a favorite, and I can’t wait to read Defiant in November!

Evershore brings together so many plot threads that have been brewing throughout all of the Skyward Flight novellas, and it does so in such a masterful way. Brandon Sanderson really is a master storyteller.

The slugs shine SO MUCH! I love the slugs. If the slugs have no one in their fan club, I am dead.

There’s not much else I can say without spoiling this book or earlier ones, but what I can say is READ SKYWARD! 5 stars.

This one is so good. I’ve loved the novella series, but getting Jorgen’s POV has been my favorite so far. He’s just such an interesting character. The dynamic of his struck rule following and deep empath. The world expansion is absolutely crazy, too. I can’t get over this series.

“Sometimes people are going to make bad choices, and there’s nothing we can do about it.” “That sucks,” I said. “It’s the worst!” FM said. “But it’s not your fault.”

“Some things are under your control, and others aren’t. You do the best you can with what you have to work with. And that is what sets you apart—what you do with it.”

“I tried to give you the story you needed, but perhaps you’ve found your own story after all.”

Oh my gosh — this novella was amazing! We learned so much about this world and cytonics! I think this was just incredible! What a great story. I can’t wait for the next book to come out! I wouldn’t mind more stories like this either!

This is the finale (currently) to the Skyward Flight novellas. This one stars Jorgen, and it was a perfect conclusion to the current story arc. I will absolutely triple down now and say that these are absolutely necessary reads for Skyward series fans (this one especially), both for your enjoyment, and also for the furthering of plot points and relationships. I’m not sure why anyone wouldn’t anyway honestly. They’re delightful. 

As they are novellas they are fast, action packed, and wonderfully paced. Yet again Suzy Jackson shows her depth and abilities with the narration, and I’m glad they didn’t pick someone else to do this Jorgen-centric one. I can’t wait to own the hardcover collected version that comes out later this year.
