I appreciated the character development and world that Brandon has created and I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series to see where he takes it.

These characters are all so well developed! They all feel individual, they all have compelling arcs and relationships, and they all grow so much! I adore them, and can’t wait to read about them in Skyward Flight.
Spensa is such a strong character, and she has such great development throughout the book. The themes of fear and bravery were so well explored through her character, especially with how she responds to the people around her. Also, the little bit of romantic hinting was super cute and I’m curious to see if/how it progresses.
The plot was great, the characters might be my favorite Sanderson ensemble, and I’m so excited to see where it goes. 5 well deserved stars.

Fan fan fan fan fan 100% incondicional de este libro y cada vez más fan de Sanderson. Cuando pienso que no puede gustarme más, leo otro de sus libros y me deja sin palabras.
Spensa es un personaje TAN bueno y un claro ejemplo de nunca rendirse y M-Bot es lo mejor del libro🖤.
Quiero ver cómo va evolucionando la relación de Jorgen y Spensa y ver a Gali convertirse en el mejor ingeniero.
Me ha dado mucha pena lo de Arcada pero, a la vez, me ha encantado cómo al final trabajan todos en equipo🥰.
Este libro es más bien introductorio y me ha encantado, pero sé que los demás van a ser igual de buenos o incluso mejores. No puedo esperar más a leerme el siguiente💜
✨Reclama las estrellas💫

Spensa is an amazing main character. I now some people find her anoying, but I loved her and her development throw out the narrative. I actually liked all the main cast, but they do need some more fleashing out that I hope will come in the sequel. And I have to give it to Brandon Sanderson for making me actually care for and enjoy the relationship between Spensa and Jorgen, since romance is usually my main issue with YA novels.
The worldbuilding was interesting, and I get that this is a plot heavy book, but I was left wanting some more indepth explanations about how things worked.
The story itself was great. When it got to the last part, it became impossible to put the book down. The twits are all very well done and unpredictable. Although, the big reveal in the end could have received a more bombastic reaction from the characters. They all just accepted it and moved on.
Over all, great book. I will definitely continue the series and probably read some other works by Sanderson.
