Title: Skyward
Author: Brandon Sanderson
Series: Skyward #1
Genre: Teen Science Fiction
Release Date: November 6, 2018
The Overview: Defeated, crushed, and driven almost to extinction, the remnants of the human race are trapped on a planet that is constantly attacked by mysterious alien starfighters. 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.-Goodreads
Nik’s Notes:
I’d read somewhere that Brandon Sanderson wasn’t interested in telling dragon rider stories because he didn’t feel like he had anything new to bring to the table. As it turns out, Skyward is the twist he’d been searching for, where there are spaceships instead of dragons haha. Part of the reason I love his works so much is the unique, grand vision he seems to bring to everything. Based on the premise alone, I’d say Skyward has the potential to become an all time favorite… no pressure haha. I can’t wait!!!

I’m so excited! I’ve loved everything Sanderson’s written (with one exception in his video game novelization, but I blame the game for that)

I’ve loved it all too (and I skipped that one haha). I’m especially excited to see him tackle a scifi, even if it is YA. Which of his is your fav? :)

I’m bad at picking favorites, but I have a feeling the Stormlight Archive will be a favorite series once it’s done. I really loved Warbreaker too.
