This book was a little slow to start and then picked up pace rapidly toward the end. There is definitely a lot of action but I still found it easy enough to follow and visualize what was going on. It was definitely a departure from the more light and cozy books I have been reading recently but I enjoyed the ride.
I appreciated the character development and world that Brandon has created and I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series to see where he takes it.

Skyward was everything I didn’t know I wanted! So good, so fun!
These characters are all so well developed! They all feel individual, they all have compelling arcs and relationships, and they all grow so much! I adore them, and can’t wait to read about them in Skyward Flight.
Spensa is such a strong character, and she has such great development throughout the book. The themes of fear and bravery were so well explored through her character, especially with how she responds to the people around her. Also, the little bit of romantic hinting was super cute and I’m curious to see if/how it progresses.
The plot was great, the characters might be my favorite Sanderson ensemble, and I’m so excited to see where it goes. 5 well deserved stars.

Ok, soo, I read this book for a bookclub, and I felt like ya know, I HAD to read for that reason only, and probably would not have gotten around to this Sanderson book until I had finished, probably every other Sanderson book. Well, I’m gonna say that it was pretty worth it, I have a few quabbles, but its a really good story, with some very interesting and intriguing things about it. so, something that really spurred me in and made me read like, half of the book in a day was the whole “millions of eyes in the sky watching her” dealio, cause that’s creepy Doomslug, my love, when will you pilot the ship home? Oh when will you have your own spin off series of 27 books where you, the dashing pilot of a sentient ship conquers the galaxy with a ruthless vengeance for cheese puffs and broccoli?

Scifi top gun. Loved it. Loved the characters, loved the banter, the fighting was excellent and the mystery was intriguing. Didn’t want to put it down.
