Brandon Sanderson never fails, and I loved this book, again, as well as his other books!
It's a YA Sci Fi fantasy that follows a young Girl whose aspiration is to be a pilot and fight in the war against the krell. which is a legacy from her dad.
I really liked the world Sanderson built in this book. I loved the characters and the messages he gave along with the turn of events.
It's a fantastic YA sci-fi that I'd recommend to anyone who loves fantasy or sci-fi. Writing is exquisite, as always.

Thanks a lot to the publisher and NetGalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Skyward is a Top Gun in Space, a Sci Fi fantasy story that follows the story of a young Girl whose aspiration is to be a pilot and fight in the war against the krell, Just like her hero – her dad. Not everyone feels the same way, and when she finally realises that no matter how good she is her dads legacy will always haunt her, She has a big decision to make.

This story is about personal grit, courage and control. It’s about fighting for something you want,no matter how difficult it becomes, and also about realising your dreams aren’t the same as everyone elses dreams.

The promo details for the book highlight MBot, the talking spaceship as a feature – I expected something the ship from farscape, ( if anyone remembers that obscure cult series) and it was more like a version of Holly from Red Dwarf, providing an almost comical relief from a quiet serious story. Skyward is the first in a new series, filled with conspiracies, teenagers willing to defy authority to make the world a better place, and an alien race that no one knows much about. Its well worth a read.
