The name "delver" is mentioned once in Skyward before being properly introduced in Starsight; whenever the delvers are referenced in Skyward, Spensa uses "the eyes" instead. Seeing Spensa again is going to be a deligth but I will miss my Skyward Flight a ton, doesn't matter that I just saw them on the novellas. and sure, i mean, i won't deny that i actually was interested in how spensa's powers work and what the delvers really are and the way that this whole universe actually works and the political hierarchies that are set up and their histories and how all of these systems came to be in the first place. Es mi segundo “pinchazo” consecutivo con Sanderson y eso ya me preocupa. ¿Soy yo el culpable o ha bajado él la calidad?

With Doomslug's help, Spensa finally teleports to Detritus with Hesho only to find Jorgen as the new Admiral of the DDF and Detritus rotating around another planet. This was one of those books where, as you grow closer to the end, you simultaneously want to read faster, and slow right down! Some of the scenes that take place in it were some of my favorite in the series. Which is saying a lot, considering how much I loved Skyward. But with the little tie-ins and allusions to it, it's hardly a surprise.Every. Single. One of their interactions is the sweetest, fluffiest thing—and it’s good that it is—because, those sweet moments are few and far between, but they’re enough for my lil heart to keep swooning! Her fainting into his arms...EEEEE! They’re my new obsession, and I just want more of them! I think too much of a good thing may not necessarily be a good thing and this was the case with the world-building here. Sanderson is a genius when it comes to creating new worlds but I believe it was too technical in this series that it became a bit of a chore trying to follow it. I think the book was best at the start and ending and it stalled a bit in the middle with all the follower things I mentioned before. I like Cytonic, the third Skyward novel, but didn't love it. The book does what it does well, but I expect Cytonic to be a divisive book, even more so than Starsight was. In fact, if you didn't like that Starsight didn't have Skyward Flight characters, this book might be even worse for you. It physically pains me to give a Sanderson book a rating this low but I must be honest... this was definitely my least favorite of all the books Any hero who could have been a monster is more heroic for the choices he or she made to walk another road." I wish this series were less episodic. I think it would be more successful emotionally if more of the characters carried over. I’m not necessarily upset that the Skyward Flight was barely in the sequels at all. I enjoyed reading about the different universal species and side characters in Starsight, and the switch from military academy to political intrigue was pulled off really well. But now it’s getting hard to care about new characters since every book has a different and separate cast. There’s no chance to bond with side characters as they grow with the protagonist across the length of a series. I have mixed feelings about the balance here, because the creativity in coming up with new species and characters is so imaginative, if often far-fetched. Ultimately, I would still prefer a series with characters I care more about over something that’s just cool.

Spensa: brave and determined, I love her so much! (And I just googled how tall she is...and she’s TINY! No wonder she thinks Jorgen’s so tall...she’s barely 5 foot!) Now, the Superiority—the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life—has started a galaxy-wide war. And Spensa has seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Ancient, mysterious alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant. Spensa knows that no matter how many pilots the DDF has, there is no defeating this predator. November 2022 saw the release of The Lost Metal, the seventh volume in the Mistborn saga, and the final volume of the Mistborn Era Two featuring Wax & Wayne. The third era of Mistborn is slated to be written after the first arc of the Stormlight Archive wraps up. I wish she could have done this in a way other than traveling across fragments—pieces of worlds—in the nowhere, following a made-up path of random locations listed to her by another character. The Path of Elders reads like an excuse to info-dump and let Spensa use her full powers without doing much discovering on her own. She just knows things after each stop on the road trip episode of this series. It’s very repetitive, and the different fragments end up adding next to nothing to the story. After one stop, Spensa starts referencing the star in her soul that gives her the power to do whatever the plot needs her to do at a specific point: “I tried to stoke my soul, like I was a star.” I read the whole book and I still don’t know what that means, Spensa 🤡 Honestly, this book is more fantasy than science fiction.

To begin with, it is important to note that I was a little nervous before going into this book. Well, maybe the better word is uncertain. Seeing as how things had ended in the previous book there were too many incognitas for my taste. That, coupled with the intense mood change of the last book and I wasn't sure what I was going to find here. En este libro tenemos a Spensa en el “niguna-parte”, una especie de universo paralelo donde “flotan” como islas en un mar de “nada”. Pero, hay que fastidiarse, hay aire respirable (este tema ni se menciona) y hasta se puede saltar de isla en isla cuando pasan cerca. Sí, hay que fastidiarse de nuevo. The chief safeguard, maintained both by the people of Detritus and by the Superiority, is to abandon all but the most crucial cytonic abilities and technologies, and surrounding inhabited spaces with cytoshields, which clamp down on and limit cytonic activity. Cytonic communications have likewise been abandoned, and radio usage is greatly limited, with cables replacing it where possible. [16] [21] Artificial intelligence has been banned, and in the present times, AIs are regarded with fear by the people of the Superiority. [22] However, it seems that, much like few scattered cytonics don't pose a threat, lone AIs are capable of functioning without drawing the delvers' ire. [23] In fantasy, the world can be explained gradually, but in sci-fi, it seems, when new worlds are discovered—you will hear ALL about them. While she sleeps, Spensa is able to commune with Jorgen and eavesdrop on Winzik and Brade, who she finds successfully making a deal with the delvers to assert the Superiority's authority in exchange for killing all the cytonics.
