It was not overwhelming, but it told half of the background story. Ok, so first things first – that map! I am not a huge fan of maps at the beginning of practically every epic fantasy lately. The biggest one being remnants of an opinionated, sassy starship she’s accidentally found.Īs she’s trying to navigate the flight school while repairing the old ship, Spensa will have to learn what makes a man a coward, what being brave really means, what is the true value of friendship and what really happed during The Battle of Alta.Īnd of course – how to kick those aliens’ butts once and for all… Skyward by Brandon Sanderson – My Review But branded the daughter of a coward, it will be very challenging for her to convince everyone she will not get scared and abandon her flightmates in the middle of a battle.īut, Spin has one or two secrets that might even further complicate her status.

To become a fighter pilot and help defend her little world against the aliens is all Spensa, callsign Spin, has ever wanted. I decided to start with Skyward, mostly because I prefer sci-fi over fantasy a little bit… What It Is About Now, I know that many Brandon Sanderson’s fans disagree on where one should start with his books. I’ve heard so many amazing things about his writing – I just knew once I start reading his books, I won’t be able to shut up about them, so be warned :-).

Skyward is the first book I’m reading by Brandon Sanderson.īut here we are.
