+title: Cytonic
+description: Brandon Sanderson
+date: 2024-02-01

+
+This is the fourth book in the Cytoverse and takes place at the same time as [Skyward Flight]({{< ref "skyward-flight.md" >}}). Following a reading advice on reddit, I read this book right after, and then read the epilogue of the third story in Skyward Flight. Well I find that skipping the epilogue mattered that much, but Cytonic should really be read after and I am glad I did!
+
+I quite liked this book, even more so than [Starsight]({{< ref "starsight.md" >}}). 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. The aliens we meet are so alien, meeting them felt great. If you enjoyed Skyward I really recommend reading this book!

-This is the a collection of three novellas in the Cytoverse. Following a reading advice on reddit, I read this book between Starsight and Cytonic, but did not read the epilogue of the third story yet since it contains spoilers for Cytonic.

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. If you enjoyed Skyward I recommend reading this book!

-This is the second novel in the Skyward series of the author. There is a few months ellipsis after the ending of the first book and 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.
