She goes to confront Mrs. Vmeer on the topic. Spensa begins trying to convince M-Bot that he is capable of combat with the Krell during the descent, but he puts down her argument by stating that he is unable to disobey his orders to lie low. When the flight lands, Spensa doesn't talk to anyone and goes straight to the orchard. When Bryn gets up to use the restroom, only members of the original flight remain, and they begin talking about the hushed up true strategy of the Krell, and why the Defiants know so little about them. An alien race called the Krell leads onslaught after onslaught from the sky in a never … She hears a scrabbling sound, which causes her to check for more rats, or a water pipe. The maneuver saves Kimmalyn, but Spensa ends up with four tails, and her ship takes heavy destructor fire with her shield going down. It is full of detailed questions on piloting and related fields, though Spensa doesn't really think for the intent and preference questions, since she isn't getting in anyway. FM gets Spensa a purple, bubbly drink and a basket of fries, both extremely delicious compared to the rats she's been eating for months. Suddenly, she notices Spensa diving towards the bomb instead of trying to escape. Spensa heads down the elevator to Igneous, and when she exits, the people there part, letting her through, some soldiers even saluting her. She starts telling M-Bot about her thoughts, and M-Bot fast-forwards the recording a little. I hate when the premise of the worldbuilding is flawed from the start. When we meet Spensa, she’s an outsider because of something that wasn’t her fault, and she wants more than anything to be accepted into the ranks she’s been shunned from for so long. Skyward arrives November 6th from Delacorte Press. Spensa notes that Gran-Gran has forgotten about her needing to attend school, something she misses a lot of due to it currently being about job opportunities she doesn't care for since Spensa is set on becoming a pilot. Spensa spends a day sleeping in M-Bot's cockpit, trying to process what her father did, while Rig continues to work on M-Bot. He calls her a coward, and M-Bot directs Spensa on which turns to take to escape the shipyard as quickly as possible.

Cobb lands, and M-Bot greets Spensa. It also has a high level of cohesiveness to itself, which I appreciate for being logical. A chunk of the wreckage hits Spensa's ship and it starts blaring warnings, but she manages to stabilize herself. While she's being chased, M-Bot reveals that the behemoth rock is in fact half of a C-137-KJM orbital shipyard with an added delver training facility. Spensa realizes that Cobb was the one who shot down her father, and asks about what happened. From Brandon Sanderson, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Reckoners series, Words of Radiance, and the internationally bestselling Mistborn series, … Bog and Tunestone then shift their mockery to Spensa and FM, and Spensa tells them to watch out for the cadets going after the full members' kills and ace. Spensa, Arturo, and FM are on scout duty with a woman callsigned Blaze, and she explains to them that if they become scouts, they will be issued a Val-class ship with normal 138 Stewart destructor traded out for a single 131, with much better sensors for detecting Krell ships. Spensa then asks if her father said anything after he came back down, and M-Bot gives her a single clip, in which he mournfully declares that he would kill everyone. Mongrel comments that Spensa got 17, a question on what to do in overwhelming odds, wrong, saying that she should fall back and await reinforcements, which she disagrees with. Nearly everyone aims poorly and fails to hit any simulated Krell ships, but Kimmalyn manages to easily shoot down several of them. You can get that from the Publishers summary and countless other reviews. Even despite that, this was an incredible storyline and I'm SUPER excited for the next book! She manages to convince the pilot, Vigor, and the ground crew to let her fly instead. Spensa breaks formation to join Jerkface and Nedder, and Cobb orders Hurl to follow as her wingmate. There were some frustrating moments, but for me it all read true to the world Sanderson has built. Rig then asks Spensa to consider what she would do if her father actually had been a coward, if he had had a moment of weakness, just like all humans, and that the DDF just made a big deal out of it so they could train their pilots to be brave. One way is to write a character who sees their world differently from the rest of the characters, but that’s not what Skyward does. The scouts manage to shoot down the bomber before it reaches the death zone, but FM announces that only three of the twelve scouts survived the blast. Many more of M-Bot's capabilities are online, such as his life support and booster. Cloak, a scout, reports that a hundred Krell ships have been spotted, meaning that the Krell are fully engaged as well. She says she's fine and asks about the ship. Dorgo, one of the ground crew, gives Spensa her helmet and tells her where the coordinates to her flight is. Who they now call a traitor and a coward. She imagines herself, as her Gran-Gran says, reaching for the stars. Cobb instructs Jorgen to conduct a roll call at their selected height of 500 feet. A Krell bomber escort ship flies over, firing at Spensa's wreckage. Spensa then hooks up her light-line's power matrix to the ship, but then realizes that it is too weak to make the ship's functions run.

Braid:Let’s first address a recurring criticism of Sanderson’s work: the lack of female-female friendships. The cadets, getting even more frustrated at their helplessness, discuss the three private ships Arturo's family owns, and they make a plan to steal them, since they can't take the ships by consent. Jorgen then tells Spensa that she is amazing and that she inspires him, and Spensa's true feelings about Jorgen begin to boil over. FM tells her they got in an IMP, and Spensa tells Kimmalyn to fire. Numb, Spensa climbs into the cockpit and goes to sleep, ignoring M-Bot's attempts to talk to her. Jorgen tells Spensa that he isn't really defiant, since he is just going with what his family wants, and will be pulled out of the DDF after spending six months as a full pilot and gaining enough of a reputation in politics. The four cadets streak toward the Krell ship, hoping to intercept it before it reaches Alta Base, when it suddenly swoops around and flies toward them. She gets information on how far Hurl crashed from Alta Base, and tells her classmates that she is going to give Hurl a proper funeral. Hurl flies into FM's ship, causing both to crash. She finds a large black box whose function she doesn't recognize. She then tells Kimmalyn over a private channel to fire a shot that will make the bomber drop the lifebuster without setting it off while its shield is down. Kimmalyn leaves the room without her pin. Sanderson has made a great effort to develop amazing female characters, but hasn’t given them many female friends to interact with in the past. Nedd identifies his callsign as Nedder, Hudiya as Hurl, Rig as Rigmarole, Arturo as Amphisbaena, Kimmalyn decides to be Quick, Morningtide keeps her name as her callsign, Freyja decides to be known as FM, Spensa chooses the callsign Spin, and she also dubs Jorgen "Jerkface." . Spensa picks up the first test, belonging to Jorgen Weight, and starts writing in it. Spensa flies with Hurl after a Krell ship. What parents need to know. The Krell ships disengage, and Ironsides decides not to pursue, since there are too many of them. Braid: Oh indeed. Spensa and the DDF have pushed the Krell war into space; Spensa's cytonic "defect" has been a key advantage in the war. Skyward Flight is there to have some target practice, as their destructors have been outfitted with beacons to tag valuable space junk. Jorgen explains that to change altitude, the best tool to use is the highly valuable acclivity ring, as well as the uses of the control sphere in banking right or left. Early in the morning, Spensa heads to the lavatory, to which she is allowed access, to wash her clothes. Spensa spends the rest of the recording staring at the projected wreckage of Chaser's ship and ignoring the rest of the battle. Spensa then reaches the point in the holorecording where her father flies off into the hole in the debris shield, and she hears her father say he can hear the stars. Spensa helps Rig check over M-Bot, but starts dozing off later on. She realizes that Skyward Flight, having gotten enough training experience to start participating in battles in Ironsides's view, might be asked to fight, and decides to head back to base. She tries to hit the bomber, but realizes that her destructors were taken out by the damage to her ship's nose. Spensa stays quiet and eats quickly, listening to the others talk. Moderate. Spensa is outraged, so Mongrel takes her into the hallway, and tells her to knock it off because he's already stuck his neck out for her far enough, and informs her that between the three of them, Jorgen, Arturo, and Ned have thousands of flight hours logged, as well as multiple relatives who made it out of the Flight School to become full-fledged DDF members. As the pulse-pounding story intensifies and reveals its secrets, a cliffhanger ending sets things up for the next instalment.

The other cadets are stunned into silence. She fights inside the system, against the system. After a day of sleeping, her period of leave is over and she reports to the classroom at 0630. Ironsides walks away from the launchpad and into the command building with Rikolfr, feeling a little guilty but dismissing the feeling. Spensa spots a lifebuster and reports it to Jorgen, who relays the message to Flight Command. Quite a while later, Cobb comes in, and yells at them to sit down when they try to salute him. Mrs. Vmeer then tries to coax her into taking another job. With graduation looming, Cobb arranges for spin, FM, and Jorgen to practice in different types of ships, such as Largo and Slatra-class starships. Jorgen chastises her, saying that she'd be dead if it were a real battle, and she retorts that she accomplished her objective. Jorgen calls the AA-gun battery to keep them from being shot at as they pass, and they soon locate Hurl's wreck afterwards. Looking at her test, Spensa realizes that the questions are all about algae preparation, something she didn't study for due to having to miss class to go hunting, and her obsession with becoming a pilot making her only attend piloting-relevant classes in the time she has left. Rig comes over and asks her to go to the post-testing party with him, but Spensa tells him to leave her alone. Spensa walks towards the crash site. Cobb asks the cadets about their feelings before practicing more turns. She turns to leave, but is stopped by Cobb, who asks her if she is simply going to give up, and also informs her that the DDF are trying to claim the shipyard she spotted earlier. Spensa and Jorgen try to dissuade her from quitting, but Kimmalyn insists that she is the weakest member in the flight and is dragging everyone down, and says that she discussed it with Cobb. Spensa replies that she hears him, and pulls out with the rest of the cadets. Jorgen is furious, to Spensa's satisfaction. Blue: I completely agree with you on the “die in flames” elements. Kimmalyn admits that not all of the quotations of the Saint she gives are actually from the Saint. This shuts Spensa up, and she asks Mongrel if she needs to do any menial labor as punishment; Mongrel tells her the punishment for acting out of line is simple - she won't get to fly. Spensa has dreamed of being a pilot since she was a child. As they drive back, Jorgen tells Spensa that he is catching on to her intentions of building a starship. M-Bot notes that even though they can get it out of range in time, they themselves will get caught in the blast. Ironsides contacts Spensa on her radio, giving her the coordinates for the Krell after Spensa insists on it. Spensa goes after the one, while Jorgen and FM go after the three. Incensed, Spensa attacks Jorgen, getting on top of him and preparing a punch. She turns off her ship's atmospheric scoop, opting to fly through lift instead. She says no, so Jorgen tells her that in the final days of the ship's voyage, there was a disagreement about what the fleet should do, so half of the ship rebelled against the command staff, including Spensa's ancestors, the engineers, and Jorgen's ancestors, the scientists. After Freyja comes Jorgen, Arturo, and Ned. Spensa and Cobb return to the classroom, and Mongrel begins explaining the various features of the training cockpits, or mockpits.

Spensa makes it to the DDF compound, sweaty and out of breath. The back of the book mentions an “accidental discovery.” I think readers will delight in the results of this discovery. Cobb says that he will give Spensa a personal radio so that they can be in contact. She asks Cobb about it, and he informs her that Medical ordered it swapped to monitor her bioreadings, but only for Spensa herself and none of her flightmates. Spensa chases after him, asking on why he is leaving and giving up. He shares some confidential pictures of Krell extracted from their fighters with the flight and that the human archive was destroyed in LD-zero, so they really don't know much about the Krell. She doesn't find solace there, and sees Jorgen preparing to leave via hovercar, so goes over and talks to him. After a period of awed silence, Nose asks them if they're looking for a flight when they graduate. Skyward (Skyward, #1), Starsight (Skyward, #2), Nowhere (Skyward, #3), and Untitled (Skyward, #4) As they enter the tunnels, Rig tells Spensa that ever since he dropped out of pilot school, he's had to decide between a dozen job offers in two months' time. From Brandon Sanderson, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Reckoners series, Words of Radiance, and the internationally bestselling 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 … They are all present in case the Krell come to prevent the humans from obtaining more acclivity rings. Spensa tries to ask her to give the pin back, but Ironsides tells her that the families of cowards aren't allowed to keep the pin, and walks off. Suddenly, the acclivity ring on her battered ship stops working and Spensa drops into a steep, out-of-control dive. We’ll be back with a spoiler review once the book is officially out November 6th—until then, enjoy flying Skyward everyone! The flight is shown their bunks, but Spensa is not given one, and is told by Cobb that Ironsides has forbidden her access to a bunk or the mess hall, and that she must take the elevator to get between Igneous Cavern and Flight School every day. Darci Cole—Callsign: Blue—is an aspiring author of young adult and middle-grade fantasy, audiobook narrator, Harry Potter Superfan, and Sanderson Beta Reader. While climbing to 100,000 feet, M-Bot informs Spensa that his GravCaps are capable of belaying 60% of g-forces, far more than standard DDF starfighters are capable of. At 1600, Cobb cuts the dogfighting exercise short and makes a holographic Krell bomber carrying a lifebuster and begins teaching the tactics and practices of scouting out and reporting lifebusters, having the flight perform hour-long exercises with six decoy lifebusters and one real one, as well as entire exercises without a single lifebuster. After trying to pull the release lever manually and failing, Spensa separates her the rope of her light-line from its bracelet, attaching one end to the release lever and the other to a boulder. Braid: True, she’s fighting to be a pilot, like her father. Spensa is shot down by a Krell fighter in their exercise, and exits her mockpit to take a break. Cobb begins to tell the cadets that they'll practice takeoffs, when he is interrupted by Jorgen, who explains he can lead the flight in this endeavor. The test ends, and Ironsides comes over and looks at her. Jorgen tries to talk to her as they drive, but Spensa shuts him down and asks if he really cares. Kimmalyn congratulates her on winning the game. M-Bot reveals that he rewrote part of his programming to accept Spensa as his pilot instead. As Spensa begins to climb down the ladder, Gran-Gran forcefully tells her to stop, and tells her that if the humans are to ever truly win and escape the Krell, they need someone like Spensa who can hear the stars. Spensa notes to herself that M-Bot has better projectors than the DDF, and can see the ships in clear detail. Since then, the race humanity knows as the Krell have worked as guards to maintain Detritus as a sort of prison/preservation for humanity. She calls Spensa a coward, but Spensa holds a salute and walks away from Ironsides knowing that she has more power than the head of the entire Defiant Defense Force in this matter. As Spensa is about to pick another one off, another Defiant beats her to it, her father. Ironsides hurriedly orders Riptide Flight to head back, but there isn't enough time for them to make a difference. No, we’re not going to tell you which one—but we will reveal it in the upcoming spoiler review. Spensa sees her father's ship pull away from his flight, but then head upwards to a hole in the debris instead of fleeing, presumably to track down where the Krell come from. Among other things, Morningtide's response reveals that she can't speak English very well, and FM is uncomfortable with the DDF's military culture. . As she puts on her helmet, Spensa notices strange bumps in it. M-Bot notes that many of the ship systems, such as the weapons system and cytonic hyperdrive, are offline, though a few, like the communications system, still work. She is confused since a healthy leg is not needed to pilot a plane, and Cobb says it's the metaphorical wound of shooting down a comrade. He tells her that they have to keep Alta Base and Igneous Cavern hidden, since Igneous manufactures starships and Alta defends it. M-Bot spots Doomslug, and comments on her being an interesting-looking fungus. Mrs. Vmeer tries dance around on it, claiming that Spensa's father being a coward makes it a delicate situation, but is eventually forced to partly admit that she won't be allowed to get in, though she doesn't say that the admiral specifically ordered her to be kept out. * FANTASY BOOK REVIEW * Jorgen gets up and recites an awkward speech on their flightmates' deaths, reading notes off his hand. He apologizes for calling her out in front of everyone else, and she tells him that it was her who stole his hover car's power matrix. The other cadets come in, and Kimmalyn gives Spensa a roll to make up for her missing lunch. The two exchange a hard look before Spensa grabs her pack and leaves. Cobb indirectly tells her that it was he who left the tip, to which she is extremely grateful, even to tears. He stiffens a bit and Spensa quickly stops herself, trying to not anger the man who'll let her in. Following her grandmother's instructions, Spensa closes her eyes and tries to listen to the stars and imagine herself flying, even though she finds it boring. She again thinks of her father's words, "Set your sights on something higher." They contact Alta Base, to cheering. The ship introduces itself as MB-1021, or M-Bot, a long-distance stealth ship, and reveals that most of its data banks are corrupted, so it doesn't remember much of its past. Spensa turns him down, and Dia tells her that the authorities will definitely prevent her from passing the pilot's test, even though everyone is allowed to take it. I’m glad Spensa develops those friendships with the other odd ducks to help navigate her course. A week later, Cobb lectures the cadets on handling g-forces and GravCaps. She tells Spensa that she will tell her about Sun Tzu tomorrow, though Spensa wants to hear about Genghis Khan. Ironsides then comments that Spensa's helmet readings have confirmed that she has a "defect", and needs to be driven out of the DDF. Jorgen explains to Spensa that the two empty spaces should have been filled by Nedd's two brothers, wingmates Nightstorm Six and Seven. As the Krell starship approaches, Spensa attempts to pull into a turn she's drawn thousands of times, only to realize it is much more difficult to pull off in real life, almost crashing into Hurl. In a hurry, Spensa skips putting on her pressure suit, and contacts Jorgen before taking off. He shoots down four allied ships, including his flightmates Rally and Antique, before Cobb manages to shoot him down. Spensa goes to her old apartment and sees her Gran-Gran, near blind, sorting beads by color. Those bits of the culture leave room for us to see them change and shift (fingers crossed).
