Skyward by Brandon Sanderson
5.0
My original review appears on the Kindle Edition of this book - I thought I had deleted it when updating Goodreads on my phone to reflect my re-read on Audible. I am seriously not a super-user of Goodreads.
The first time through I read Skyward on Kindle. I rated it four stars because of the typical-to-YA features (told in first person, very little parental involvement, blatant disrespect for authority). Kudos to Sanderson for portraying the realities of war - the dropout rate in Skyward Flight was astonishing! I also really enjoyed the humor and camaraderie.
Something about reading it on audio the second time through pushed it to five stars for me. Suzy Jackson did an amazing job narrating this book. I saw Spensa's arc differently - I really saw her growth. And anyone who knows me knows that a "girl and her starship" story is totally my jam.
I can't wait for Starsight! Planning a third read of Skyward before its release. Wish I could attend the Starsight release party in Utah, since I had so much fun at the Skyward book tour stop last year. Alas, I can't travel west that close to Thanksgiving.
