I remember as soon as I saw this book listed I preordered it as soon as I could. I can’t remember the last time I was so excited for a book to arrive. I haven’t been moved by a series like this since The Shadow of the Fox series by Julie Kagawa. The Skyward series … Continue reading Book Review: Skyward #4 – Defiant by Brandon Sanderson

Novella Review: Defending Elysium: A Cytoverse Novella (The Skyward Series) by Brandon Sanderson
Getting back into the rhythm of book reviews again, I thought I would finish the other novella in the Cytonic series. Writing compelling stories in so few pages is a fascinating and seems like such a difficult task. The Skyward Flight novella series were a surprisingly strong and compelling set of novellas that helped to … Continue reading Novella Review: Defending Elysium: A Cytoverse Novella (The Skyward Series) by Brandon Sanderson
Novella Review: Evershore: Skyward Flight: Novella #3 by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson
Continuing my adventure into understanding novellas, reading Evershore the third book in the Skyward Flight novella series finally helped me grasp the strength of novellas. While ReDawn didn’t necessarily feel like it exemplified it, Evershore really displayed how a novella could be used to further develop a supporting character without taking away from the main … Continue reading Novella Review: Evershore: Skyward Flight: Novella #3 by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson
Novella Review: ReDawn: Skyward Flight: Novella #2 by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson
First, before the review, I do have to make an apology. Somehow, I glossed over the fact that these novellas were written by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. This would include the previous novella I reviewed. I am sorry but to make it clear, it would be both Sanderson and Patterson who’ve worked on these, … Continue reading Novella Review: ReDawn: Skyward Flight: Novella #2 by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson
Book review: Skyward #3 – Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson
It’s been quite a while since I’ve read Starsight back in 2019, but the book was pretty great but didn’t feel as strong as the first book Skyward. Part of that was because the theme shift between what book one was a fight for humanity’s survival against a brutal and unknowable alien race to book … Continue reading Book review: Skyward #3 – Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson
Book Review: Starsight by Brandon Sanderson
The first book in the series, Skyward by Brandon Sanderson, is one of my favorite books of all time. It was so different from the traditional Young Adult books and dealt with very serious issues of PTSD and emotional scarring. What made it even more impactful were how endearing the characters were and how invested … Continue reading Book Review: Starsight by Brandon Sanderson
Book Review: Skyward by Brandon Sanderson
I fancied myself mostly as a fantasy author and reader. Magic and the idea of drawing the power from within had always been elements of storytelling I loved (very anime). But recently I was enamored with the idea of trying to write a science fiction story. Lo and behold, as I thought about it Skyward … Continue reading Book Review: Skyward by Brandon Sanderson
