Scifi top gun. Loved it. Loved the characters, loved the banter, the fighting was excellent and the mystery was intriguing. Didn’t want to put it down.

⚠️ESTA REVIEW CONTIENE SPOILERS⚠️





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💜

Friends said this was Top Gun in space… I’d say it’s Star Trek meets Top Gun. 

Fantastic! Chef’s kiss 💋

I do like most of the characters, but sometimes the way their conflicts were written -- and the story in general -- felt shallow. Getting to learn more about the space military and the alien attacks kept me interested, and I had a lot of fun with the climax! I have mixed feelings overall, but I want to read the next installment in the series!
Mind-controlled spaceships and hateful eyes watching from the "nowhere." Those are the reasons I wanted to keep reading, and why I want to read the next book. 
Sometimes Spensa would be a real asshole for no reason, but she was usually spared from facing any consequences, so her growth by the end of the novel seemed to only be in one direction and overlooked her other flaws. She makes some smart choices, and has nice moments too, but I would've liked to see her personality -- including her immaturity and impulsiveness -- explored more to better understand why she is the way she is. Lastly, I couldn't help but get tired of the cowardice theme by the end -- but that's just me.

brandon sanderson is a man who writes girl characters really well. spensa is funny, quite relatable (more than usual scif/fantasy mcs), a bit odd in the best way. it's probably the thing i loved the most in this book.
plot is awesome, space pilot academies are great. more development of side characters would have been nice though.
