Starsight took the little nuggets of info we got in Skyward and ran with them! This book expanded on the universe so much, and I absolutely loved it.

The new cast of characters were so fun to get to know (though I will say that I missed Jerkface and Quirk). Also, Spensa learned so much about her internal biases and WE LOVE AN ANTIRACIST MESSAGE! Whoop whoop!

M-bot continues to be such a funny character, and the themes of consciousness and self determinism were so interesting to explore through his lens. I also love Doomslug, she’s such a good slug, and am excited to spend more time with her in the next books.

This series is so bingeable, and I will definitely be reading the novellas asap. I’m not sure what exactly kept this from being a dove star book for me, but it didn’t have ~the vibe~ so it gets a solid 4.5 stars.
