Hi! I've just finished reading "Skyward" by Brandon Sanderson. I'm really sorry for not having a proper picture of the book but I read it on an ebook so...
Anyway, here's the synopsis:
Synopsis:
Defeated, crushed, and driven almost to extinction, the remnants of the human race are trapped on a planet that is constantly attacked by mysterious alien starfighters. Spensa, a teenage girl living among them, longs to be a pilot. When she discovers the wreckage of an ancient ship, she realizes this dream might be possible—assuming she can repair the ship, navigate flight school, and (perhaps most importantly) persuade the strange machine to help her. Because this ship, uniquely, appears to have a soul.
Spoiler-free review:
I started reading this book because I had seen it everywhere on Instagram and people's reviews said it was amazing. However, the first 300 pages of the book were, at the same time, really interesting and a pain in the neck. It took me more than two weeks to finish this book so you could say I wasn't very into it.
Nonetheless, the last 150 pages got me completely hooked and the whole book made me, in general, think about different topics I had never had in mind before.
Review with spoilers:
Why did so many people have to die? I mean, c'mon, poor blue-haired guy, he was super nice. However, it was probably for the best since now Spensa can fall in love with Jorgen and we won't have to read about a love triangle (which, I think, it's better not to have it in this book).
Besides, I love M-Bot, he's definitely the best secondary character anyone could ask for. I've realized how well thought is every aspect of his personality and he made me laugh every time he spoke. He was just so sassy.
Also, I think Rodge is really underrated and he's one of the nicest characters.
In the end, even though I didn't enjoy the book as much as other people, I've come to the conclusion that the characters are amazing. That's why I've decided to rate it 3.5/5 stars.
