Review: Starsight by Brandon Sanderson

Starsight by Brandon Sanderson Series: Skyward #2 Published by Delacorte Press on November 26, 2019 Genres: Fantasy, Fiction, Science Fiction, Young Adult Pages: 457 Format: Hardback Source: Own Copy Buy on Amazon Goodreads All her life, Spensa’s dreamed of becoming a pilot. Of proving she’s a hero like her father. She made it to the sky, but the truths she learned about her father were crushing. The rumors of his cowardice are true—he deserted his flight during battle against the Krell. Worse, though, he turned against his team and attacked them. Spensa is sure that there’s more to the story. And she’s sure that whatever happened to her father in his starship could happen to her. When she made it outside the protective shell of her planet, she heard the stars—and it was terrifying. Everything Spensa has been taught about her world is a lie. But Spensa also discovered a few other things about herself—and she’ll travel to the end of the galaxy to save humankind if she needs to. I have been waiting to read Starsight for so long. […]

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. Damn, you know that a book is awesome when you read it in one sitting and stay up until stupid o’clock to finish. Skyward was a blast and one that I adored.  If your after a heart thumping, […]

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Calamity by Brandon Sanderson Series: Reckoners #3 Published by Gollancz on February 18, 2016 Genres: Fantasy, Fiction, Science Fiction, Young Adult Pages: 432 Format: E-Arc, Hardback Source: Netgalley, Publisher Buy on Amazon Goodreads From the bestselling author of the Mistborn series and Words of Radiance comes Calamity, the final book in the New York Times bestselling Reckoners series. Embrace your epic destiny and there’s no turning back. Is there? After that cliffhanger of Firefight, and having a year to wait for Calamity, it was a bit of a struggle. But we made it through and now have the joy of reading another fabulous book. Because like the rest of Brandon Sanderson’s books I have read this is fabulous. It’s the type of book that is easy to imagine, one with a cinematic style and grace. But I have to admit that this is a book that I am struggling to review, mainly because I’m […]

His ambitious, multi-volume epics and his stellar continuation of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series have earned both critical acclaim and a substantial popular following. In Legion, a distinctly contemporary novella filled with suspense, humor, and an endless flow of invention, Sanderson reveals a startling new facet of his singular narrative talent. Stephen Leeds, AKA ‘Legion’, is a man whose unique mental condition allows him to generate a multitude of personae: hallucinatory entities with a wide variety of personal characteristics and a vast array of highly specialised skills. As the story begins, Leeds and his ‘aspects’ are drawn into the search for […]
