I rank it on par with the first [Skyward]({{< ref "skyward.md" >}}) novel. The space dogfights are still very well written and the tension is really palpable.

I quite liked this book, more so than Starsight but still I found it weaker than the first Skyward novel. It was refreshing to experience different viewpoints from Spensa, I especially enjoyed FM's story and would love to get a Kimmalyn story in the future.

There is a few months ellipsis after the ending of [Skyward]({{< ref "skyward.md" >}}) humanity managed to fight back enough to reach space, but they are still stuck on their planet and still under constant threat of extinction by aliens, but we are getting to know them! I found this book a little weaker than the first one, though I cannot quite put my finger on why. I still liked the characters, the various settings, the spying and political plot, and the ending was satisfying. But I guess I wanted something more or something else? I still recommend reading this book. |
