Skyward by Brandon Sanderson
5.0
This was SO DAMN GOOD!!!!! THIS IS THE "UMPF" THAT I'VE BEEN MISSING IN YA!!!
This book really reminded me of Ender's Game, obviously there are differences as anyone who read that can see, but there's some interesting parallels.
The action in this book was great! It was well-paced and descriptive in terms of both the combat and the characters' emotions. Each chapter in this book moves the plot forward bit by bit, some more than others. I was impressed at how Brandon Sanderson could balance comedy and drama at the same time so well.
The mystery element really kept me going. The mystery of why Spensa's father attempted to run away and why they were all on the planet was genuinely interesting and kept me hooked.
I just really loved this book and I can't wait to read the sequel. But Ironsides was a bitch, that is all.
