A review by whiteknight247
Skyward by Brandon Sanderson

4.0

Sanderson once again comes up with unique ideas and creates a story of worlds, histories, technologies, and people that are distinct from his other stories and are engaging and intriguing. I'm sad that I read this so early because I want to jump into the series, to read the next evolution of this story and yet I'm left waiting for months before the next book is released. That's what you want from the first book in a series, you want to be left wanting more. I'm satisfied with the first book, I'm not annoyed or unsatisfied because he left huge questions unanswered like the end of a season of Lost, I'm pleased with the book's resolutions but I'm excited to see what roles the various characters will fill and how the broader story will develop as the characters realize how they can reach beyond their current views of themselves, their society, and their world and expand their ideas and even themselves out into the universe.
