So far this one is my least favorite books of the series. That being said,I enjoyed it a lot. Loved the character development and the world building. I really missed some of the characters from other books. And there were a couple of plot developments that felt just a bit too deux ex-machina for me (it is a yound adult book after all) and that really is the extent of my complaint. All in all,an easy, enjoyable read.

Never before have I given a Brandon Sanderson book below a 4, I think! This book was ambitious and it did the things it set out to do, but something was...missing.

I didn't connect to it as I did with the previous two books. Maybe it was the lack of complicated but lovable cast/crew? Maybe it was being thrown into a new world that was confusing and new and didn't lay the groundwork for being cared for? I'm unsure, but I found myself, dare I say it, setting the book to 1.1x, something I only do when I want to speed up the reading of a book, to finish it.

Spensa's arc was great, she certainly grew. MBOT as always steals the show. And Doomslug's line of "You equals home" slayed me.

Que fascinante ha sido la evolución de Spensa en esta entrega, mantiene esa parte de su esencia dada a la bravuconeria y desarrolla más una personalidad apasionadas por las historias y las aventuras.

Ahora la historia de esta entrega que adentra a la protagonista en una serie de aventuras en la ninguna-parte, en dónde desempeña un papel interesante en un grupo de piratas. Para encontrar los orígenes de la "amenaza" que representan los zapadores.

Las ideas puestas en contraste con los zapadores, el miedo al cambio, el no poder superar la perdida, el odio a los desconocido y lo que pretenda ser diferente.

Ese final, la decisión tomada por M-bot de ir por si solo para poner su grano de arena ya que el también aprendió a enfrentar los miedos. El enfrentamiento de Spensa con los zapadores, en dónde se hace un contraste marcado de las ideas y diferentes perspectivas de la vida que tienen.
