A review by k_shanahan
Skyward by Brandon Sanderson
4.0
Very VERY excited for this sequel. The ending almost pushed the rating to a 5 star book; I'm going to put it at a 4.5 I think. For the majority of the book it was pleasant to read and had a really engaging story. Some of the humour, especially stuff with the AI ship fell a bit flat for me? I'm not even able to give a good reason why this was since that type of sarcastic humour between companions is usually exactly what I like. it got better near the end.
There were twists and turns that weren't overly unexpected, but still exciting to read about (except when she first found the talking ship, because that I wasn't expecting). Every single battle someone in the main group died. I took this as predictable for a long while, but I suppose with battles like these it's also realistic.
This is the first brandon Sanderson book I've ever read and it wasn't what I was expecting. I guess it's geared towards a slightly younger audience than his usual high fantasy? Again, this is just me guessing. I was expecting an older tone and wasn't exactly disappointed as surprised.
I will get the next book as soon as it's written and can't wait to read more of Sanderson's stuff.
