“Don’t trust their lies. Don’t trust their false peace.” That is the warning that Alanik of the planet ReDawn gave the human pilot Spensa after Alanik’s ship crash-landed on Detritus. While accepting an invitation to meet with her people’s enemy, the Galactic Superiority, Alanik heard Spensa’s cry for help across the vastness of space, and she used her cytonic powers to hyperjump her ship to the source of that cry. What she found there was a shock - a whole planet of free humans fighting against the Superiority. Were they the allies her people desperately needed?

When the great red star Calamity appeared in the sky, some believed the end had come. They were right. Calamity created the Epics: humans with incredible powers they didn't deserve. They could have saved mankind. They could have lifted us into harmony and prosperity. Instead they burned. They slaughtered. They conquered. And then they ruled. Jax has learned all of this the hard way. Orphaned at an early age, he's spent most of his childhood training to be a Reckoner - determined to find the Epics' weaknesses, unlock their secrets, and protect those of us who are still left.

The murder of world-renowned violinist Leona McPherson who mysteriously disappeared years ago after a concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
Publisher's Summary
Spensa's life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary.
She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell - the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. What's more, she travelled light-years from home as a spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home. Now, the Superiority - the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life - has started a galaxy-wide war. And Spensa has seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Ancient, mysterious alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant.
Spensa knows that no matter how many pilots the DDF has, there is no defeating this predator.
Except that Spensa is Cytonic. She faced down a Delver and saw something eerily familiar about it. And maybe, if she's able to figure out what she is, she could be more than just another pilot in this unfolding war. She could save the galaxy. The only way she can discover what she really is, though, is to leave behind all she knows and enter the Nowhere. A place from which few ever return.
To have courage means facing fear. And this mission is terrifying.

spectacular space adventure
Just when you think that the wonderful series can't push the ideas more, Sanderson dazzles us with imaginative and satisfying turns. Great new characters and spectacular character development in this exciting space adventure. A bit like empire strikes back in some ways, but I'm sure the payoff will be stunning. Now the wait for the last book begins.

Wonderful 3rd piece
This is the 3rd installment of the series. Out of 4 planned. It has both great growth ot the characters and a lot of progress in our understanding of the world.
Do notice that there are 2 productions of the series one in us English and one in uk English. This is the uk one.

Only Brandon Sanderson Could Do This
Just when you think you are settling into a series with bravery and reckless adventure, heroes, heroines and crazy AI's (sorry M-Bot) you find yourself wrong footed and thrown into a visionary new and challenging world.
The reach to the Somewhere is stretched almost to breaking point and we see bravery shown in a lot of different ways. Spensa learns that the courage she thought was the way of her world, is only one of many paths she can choose and she is faced with choices that will change many lives. There are surprises and there is adventure and, at the end, we see hope and the biggest fight for the peoples ready to face the Superiority.

Weakest book of the series
Sophie Alfred performance is excellent, unfortunately the material itself deteriorated. The reasons for my disappointment include the multiple cycles of self doubt, for 50% of the book a tame storyline given the cliffhangers from book 2. This is the first book in the series where I begged for the dross/padding to stop. The mini series skyward flight provides some background and storyline development but are clearly a money grab, both being shorter in length than the main books yet still charged at full price. Instead of Cytonic wrapping up a trilogy we are left once again waiting………., no doubt more opportunity to “spin” out some cash generators in the form of more short stories billed at full price. Presumably we now have another lengthy wait before the next installment.

Sando's worst book yet
This one's hard to finish. the characters we know are all relegated to bland novellas (2 are out at the time if writing) that don't go anywhere, and I just don't care about the new cast as they're under developed and clichéd alien folk.
Every time you hear "bless your stars" or something about the Saint, is like salt in the wound as it reminds you of better storytelling.
Spensa in Neverland, with pirates and magic powers is a million miles away from the Sci-fi, pilot training story that started the series.

Sorry Brandon
I love Brandon Sanderson and adore almost everything he writes but this is too fanciful, I love the first two books but what is this? it seems like a complete side step, the story didn't progress at all it's all just a ridiculous side quest, it feels like the main character just binged hallucinogens for 6 weeks, bringing back dead characters? the slug can talk? pirate champion? not a fan

dissapointed by Sandersen, but a boring book with too little momentum is saved by a brilliant narrotor. book feels more like a book 2.5 but is sadly about 9 hours too long for that.

I won't be bothering with a fourth if it comes out. This was a poor wedged in book that really is unrelated to the first two doesn't even take place in the same universe. Accept the first two and then move on.

only Sanderson book I struggled to get through
Unfortunately I think Sanderson should stick to fantasy. This was a pretty poor story, didn't capture me at all and the characters all seemed to be about 10 years old. In fact the characters may be the worst thing about this book.
I'm not sure if it was aimed at children but it was even at the level of YA I found.
Hopefully the next SF series he does will be a lot lot better, unless this puts him off for good.

Book 2.5
Sanderson should of kept the books as a trilogy, this book is just 9 hours to long for the story he wanted to tell. It took me nearly two months to finally finish it. Even Sophie’s performance suffers with the boring storyline and dialogue in this book. Honestly not looking forward for any more books from this collection.

Wonderful follow-up
A wonderful third part in this story and I look forward to the next, the perspective of the novel i find unique. The characters are well thought through and the story has great twists and turns.
It is well read and the characterizations really come to life in the words and voices of the narrator.
Recommended read/Listen, the only problem i have is waiting for the next episode, in both this the main story arch and the side stories.

I want more
They say “always leave the audience wanting more”. In this instance the saying rings true, it’s an ending that offers the listener/reader’s imagination to expand the possibilities. One the one hand it’s good there are “side stories” but “Skyward” has a strong story arc which offers more. We can but hope.

This was a really disappointing follow up to the fantastic Redawn.
This book seemed more of an information dump with the story just to fill in time or make us feel like we were reading a book.

Not as good as the first two
Unfortunately, I just didn’t enjoy this one as much as the others. There didn’t seem to be as much in the way of relationships between the characters. The main thread of the story is also a little boring, though it does pick up at the end. Some of the “magical” elements are not described as thoroughly as in other books, which makes it a bit hard to follow in places. I was hoping for something a bit better.
I felt that the previous narrator did a bit of a better job. Some of the voices (particularly MBot) didn’t really seem to fit the character, though others were done well. I was annoyed at the main character’s name being consistently pronounced as “Spencer” instead of Spensa.
A bit of a let down unfortunately, given the first book in the series is one of my favourites.

Plot deviates from the first two
I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books, and rated them both 5 stars. I was excited to start this one, hoping it would be a continuation of that plot, further exploring and answering questions surrounding it.
However, it seems to go in a different direction with brief appearances from old characters and second hand information about important events. I struggled to pay attention as the new over-arching goal becomes vague.
I'd still look forward to buying a next book in the series, but I hope to read more about the original plot again.

The sequels to Skyward are nowhere near as good
... however, Sanderson always does a good job delivering a story. It may not be up to Skyward heights (and I hope you enjoy that pun) but it's still a good read, especially if you want closure.

Cytonic: journey to the no where (Spoilers Alert!!)
This was a fantastic adventure worthy of the Skyward flight badge and the only reason it got a 4 star on story was because i felt when they were fragment skipping and the dinosaur etc was just a bit much and side tracked the reader and made you second guess if you were still in the same sci fi genre, the story got lost in the no where (pardon the pun). It was quickly back to the amazing adventures of Spencer though and still earned itself a 5 star. Great work Brandon!!
