With Skyward Brandon Sanderson has delivered another superb Sci Fi adventure. With a kick ass teenage girl and a great AI character I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to the next!

Okay, let me start off with this:
I live for Spensa.
I adore Spensa.
I want to be like Spensa.

Since this book hasn't been officially released yet and I don't want to spoil anything, I'll be keeping this short. What I will say is that I would have given this 5 stars for Spensa alone. But throw a precious, sassy and funny sidekick, a band of awesome and loyal flightmates and some seriously kickass airfights into the mix and we’ve got ourselves a masterpiece!

This was my first ever Brandon Sanderson book, and I’m kicking myself for not having picked up any of his other books earlier if they’re all going to be this good!
I’m usually not that into sci-fi so I'll probably enjoy his fantasy series even more, which I can't imagine, but hell, this was damn epic and blew me away. His way of telling stories just sucks you right in! I laughed, cried, doubted and mourned with Spensa throughout this whirlwind of a story.

Another hit by Brandon Sanderson, if it was possible to give a book more than 5/5 this one would deserve it. One thing I love about this book is how Sanderson draws you into the world of Detritus so thoroughly. I wished I could have been going through Flight school with Spensa and the other members of flight crew Skyward.

Spensa is a fantastic character, so quirky and unfailingly loyal to her father who was deemed a coward. I bonded with her automatically and went through the whole rigmarole of emotions she did while reading this book. Her anger and stubbornness as she fights against Ironside for her right to become a pilot, her shame when she gets outed as the cowards daughter by "Jerkface" Jorgen, and her disappointment, anger and concern for herself when she finally learns the truth about her father.

Though Spensa is the main character, one of the things I love is that you manage to bond with all of Skyward flight. Each members actions impact Spensa in some way which makes them all vital to the overall story line, and through this you get to know their personalities and quirks which makes them invaluable to the plot.

M Bot is possibly my favourite AI ever. I love when authors give AI's a personality and M Bots is one of the funniest I've had the pleasure of reading. Between his obsession with Mushrooms and his unwillingness to break orders given to him nearly 200 years ago, he makes for an sometimes infuriating but ultimately hilarious and loyal sub-character who I love.

This book is my top read of 2018 so far and it would have to take something special to knock if off top spot. You read this knowing there is something going on that you just don't understand yet, and after all the emotional twists and turns, you are left with an ending that ties all the unknowns together effortlessly. The only problem with the ending is that it leaves you with a gap where Skyward Flight used to be and the need to have the next book in the series tomorrow!

Quite possibly the easiest 5/5 I have given all year. You need to read this book as well as Sanderson's other series which are all amazing as well.

First I need to say that I enjoyed this book, it was creative, the action was well described, the characters were well developed and were interesting. Good book, it just that I didn’t realise it was a pre teen book which I discovered within the first few pages and almost put the book down, well you can’t really put a e-book down but I bet you know what I mean. That would have been a mistake as I did find the book engaging. So, if you are a SiFi fan this is a good read regardless of your age, give it a chance and you will enjoy it I am sure.

I love a good Sci Fi, and this was a very good one.I haven't read any books by this author before but I will in future, I loved this it was a rip roaring space adventure with a great lead character and the peripheral characters were not bad either.I stayed up way too late reading this and thoroughly enjoyed it.I don't do spoilers but it had everything I wanted, excitement,unpredictability,and even a talking space ship! I recommended this to a book buddy before I had even finished it, some thing I rarely do but I was enjoying it so much. and I knew they would too. I really enjoyed reading this and would like to thank the publishers and netgalley for giving me an ARC.
