About this deal

Her and Jorgen’s relationship continues to be the best—you know when you read a book, and the romance is just crumbs...BUT YOU WANT THE WHOLE LOAF??? That’s this series! Cytonic focuses a lot on worldbuilding. Some revelations were interesting, but others felt random. Surehold didn’t have any relevance until now. I also wish the delvers were scarier. Exactly what the delvers are angry about seems less clear in this book and is therefore less menacing. They made a lot of vague threats, and when they followed through, it was just kind of… funny. A line of starships driven by an emotionless Chet is objectively hilarious, especially considering his elaborate mustache. All people must accept that we have the potential to do terrible things. It is part of seeing our place in the universe, our heritage, and our natures. But in acceptance, we gain strength, for potential can be refused. Any hero who could have been a monster is more heroic for the choices he or she made to walk another road.” Cytonic most definitely was a character driven book and I was so here for it, except that I wish that it didn't drag out so much. These characters I will always love and I genuinely enjoy reading this series. I can't wait for Defiant but also am totally terrified as this book gave off the feeling of the "calm before the storm" *fear* I'm scudding not ready, Mr. Sanderson please don't destroy me. Now, the Superiority—the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life—has started a galaxy-wide war. And Spensa’s 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.

but if you do miss the Skyward Flight characters, there's a solution: three Skyward Flight novellas! The first two, Sunreach and ReDawn, are already out, with the third, Evershore, coming out December 28th In true Sanderson fashion, everything blew my mind and became all that much more complicated, entangled, and fascinating. I may have had to re-read some parts a few times. Cytonic is a 2021 young adult [a] science fiction novel written by American author Brandon Sanderson. It is the third book in the Skyward series after Skyward and Starsight. The penultimate novel of the four-book series, it was published by Delacorte Press on November 23, 2021 [1] [2] with a sequel due in 2023 entitled Defiant.The novel was originally intended to be released in Spring 2021 as part of a trilogy and later a four-book series. However, its release was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and rigidly set for November or December due to paper shortages and printing delays from the publisher. Sanderson originally explored the idea of having multiple point of views, [4] an idea that was seemingly scrapped sometime during the writing process. In January 2021, Sanderson finished the first draft. Sanderson has stated that he feels the novel is a "little bit of a diversion" from the main story set to focus specifically on Spensa's arc in the aftermath of Starsight's last chapter. [5] Reception [ edit ] Cytonic is one very long side quest that leads to many other sub-side quests. It has some memorable moments, but much of it has already faded in my mind. This book isn’t boring—it’s still fast-paced, but there is little net progress. Detritus was on hiatus the whole time. Instead, Spensa explored the mysterious no-man’s-land called the nowhere to gather information about the delvers and her cytonic powers. As always, Sanderson delivers the best books, and for all my initial panic with this one, I was absolutely in love. Also, Spensa reading the "trashy romance novel" was bloody HILARIOUS. I love those little Easter eggs BrandoSando left throughout this book that allude to modern earth, like Spensa's misinterpretation of Paradise Lost. Sanderson is fully aware of every aspect of his world and plot in his writing, but he also expertly unleashes Spensa's unique personality with an underlying tone of humor at the same time. In conclusion, this book had some really positive aspects, and I enjoyed the last part, which made me excited for Defiant. I got the feeling that all the characters will come together again finally, and I crave that!

Buen libro, sí que me ha gustado. Puede que no llegue a ser tan espectacular como el primer volumen, pero he encontrado varios detalles que me han parecido muy interesantes, como la combinación entre fantasía y ciencia ficción que nos ofrece para esta ocasión Sanderson. También he disfrutado de las aventuras, conversaciones e indecisiones de Spensa, la protagonista, siendo esta una de las razones por las que ahora siento un cariño especial por esta chica extrovertida; cariño que no logré sentir en los volúmenes anteriores. Me he reído, me he sorprendido, me he metido de cabeza en esta historia fascinante de Sanderson, y la verdad, es que me siento muy satisfecho de que haya vivido una grata experiencia con esta lectura. PS: I strongly recommend reading the novellas in this series as well as they are important to the overall story.Hesho's kingdom took up over a third of the kitsen homeworld. Three weeks before traveling to Starsight, he stepped away from the throne, becoming instead a member of the kitsen democratic assembly and a ship captain. [12] [9] Hesho's status as former king of his people is somewhat questionable, as he seems to bear the title in all but name, [6] and the new senate tends to unanimously vote against his wishes in an apparent attempt to prove that they are independent. [9] He is determined to convince all around him that he is no longer the monarch of his people. [8] Captain Hesho [ edit ]
