Skyward
By Brandon Sanderson
Review by Alethea
Skyward was an incredibly fun read. The fighter piloting aspect of the story and the aerial combat scenes were definitely the highlights of the story; Sanderson somehow managed to successfully capture the tension, thrill, and the sheer speeds the pilots experienced, creating a genuinely exciting and fascinating read. After a slightly shaky start, the main character started to grow on me, especially once her past was revealed, and her character journey was satisfying. The plot wasn’t overly complicated and despite seeing a few twists and revelations in advance, overall it was easy to read, fast paced, and very enjoyable.
