Title: Skyward Pdf
From Brandon Sanderson, the number one New York Times best-selling author of the Reckoners series, Words of Radiance, and the internationally best-selling Mistborn series, comes the first book in an epic new series about a girl who dreams of becoming a pilot in a dangerous world at war for humanity's future.
Spensa's world has been under attack for decades. Now pilots are the heroes of what's left of the human race, and becoming one has always been Spensa's dream. Since she was a little girl, she has imagined soaring skyward and proving her bravery. But her fate is intertwined with her father's - a pilot himself who was killed years ago when he abruptly deserted his team, leaving Spensa's chances of attending flight school at slim to none.
No one will let Spensa forget what her father did, yet fate works in mysterious ways. Flight school might be a long shot, but she is determined to fly. And an accidental discovery in a long-forgotten cavern might just provide her with a way to claim the stars.
Kept me guessing I stayed up waaay too late reading this, because I was just HOOKED. Every time I think there is a Sanderson book that just won't click with me, I get proven wrong by being sucked in to the story.This story focuses on a teenage girl, Spensa- nicknamed Spin. Her father was a pilot, and she adored him. They BOTH loved the stars. She had also loved stories of old Earth heroes, and due to an incident with her Father being branded a coward - she has turned out a bit hostile and bloodthirsty as a defense.Spensa's dream is to fly as a pilot- like her dad. But the entire community is working against her, to make sure she doesn't turn out like her dad. When Spensa finds a strange wrecked ship on the surface, she decides to try and fix the ship- hoping to fly any way she can.At every turn, Spensa faces setbacks, and horrible people who will never let her live down what her father has done. She's become tough, and hardened by her life in the edges of society, and still- she fights on.This book surprised me in so many ways. There were a lot of things I THOUGHT I had figured out, only to have things twist in another direction.I quite loved this book, and I both love and hate that it is a trilogy, as I am dying to now read what happens next. It ends on a BIT of a cliffhanger...but still has enough of a resolution to not make me throw my Kindle in disgust.Too Good to read... really Ok, so let’s address the way Brandon writes: flawless. You don’t realize that you just spent 5 hrs reading his book because his prose (the way he writes)doesn’t detract from the story.Next, the story: it’s a fun yet oddly alien story but it comes across not quite alien. It’s a great story full of mystery while engaging you in tense action.The characters were well done and you saw more character development in main character than you would normally notice in a Sanderson Book. He is getting better the more he writes and this one showed.The problem I have with Sanderson might not really be a problem. I hesitate to start a book of his because it is too good. Literally. I know when I start to read something of his that it will be soooo hard to read other authors afterward. This book is a good example: I just finished reading it. Do I want to jump into another book and continue reading something else? No. I want the next part of this story, or anything Sanderson really, cause it’s just good writing.Sigh, I just have a love hate relationship with Brandon’s books. I think half the reason Patrick Rothfuss doesn’t finish his series is he is taking notes from Robert Jordan: he wants Brandon to finish it for him.Anyway, great story. Fun! Loved it overall.
