About this ebook

All her life, Spensa has dreamed of becoming a pilot. Of proving she's a hero like her father. She made it to the sky, but the truths she learned about her father were crushing. The rumours of his cowardice are true - he deserted his flight during battle against the Krell. Worse, though, he turned against his team and attacked them.

Spensa is sure there's more to the story. And she's sure that whatever happened to her father in his starship could happen to her. When she made it outside the protective shell of her planet, she heard the stars - and it was terrifying. What she learned turned her world upside down. Everything Spensa's been taught is a lie.

But Spensa also learned a few things about herself - and she'll travel to the end of the galaxy to save humankind if she needs to.

Praise for Brandon Sanderson's #1 New York Times Bestselling Reckoners series:

'Another win for Sanderson . . . he's simply a brilliant writer' Patrick Rothfuss
'Action-packed' Entertainment Weekly
'Compelling . . . Sanderson uses plot twists that he teases enough for readers to pick up on to distract from the more dramatic reveals he has in store' AV Club

The moment I saw the release date of this book in the previous one I knew I had to get this one and I have to say that there were absolutely no flaws in this book. It follows really well from the first book and provides a plot in which every little detail is always interesting and is never over done. I highly recommend this book and the previous one(skyward) to anyone who is hoping to find an enjoyable read. Can't wait to see what comes next

Spensa is the bravest heroine ever! Not only does she go against the naysayers to prove them wrong, but she does it with such style and precision. M-Bot is life! He gives the story such depth, can't wait for the next one.
