Sorry but I just didn't enjoy this one as much as book 1, 2 nor the brilliant novellas!
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed parts of it. I loved Spensa's character development, I mean we see her grow up so much over the series! I also loved M-Bot again (no surprise there!), and his growth was amazing! I just adored how he added humour to the story! Also Doomslug💛
The setting was definitely a plus, Brandon Sanderson's mind and imagination is just incredible! I love how he expanded the universe even more in this book.
However, at times this felt a chore to get through, leaving beloved characters behind, and under developing new ones. I didn't feel any attachment to them, as we went through the repetitive cycle of Spensa meeting new characters, then training and bonding with them. At times, it felt like a filler of a book to be honest! I much prefer the books featuring Skyward flight, and the plot in the first few books.
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!
But..this was too character driven for me, I like that, but I needed more plot, more action in this one.
Maybe it's just that I binged 3 books and 3 novellas in rapid succession?!

Thanks Jayme! As much as I hate to not rate Sanderson 4/5 stars, it just wasn't as good as the earlier books!

Thank you and same! Glad I'm not alone! I'm hoping everyone comes together in an epic way in defiant!


Thanks Lisa! I have a feeling book 4 is going to smash it!

Thanks Kay! I can recommend the mistborn series as well!

Thanks Kat! 💛

Oh really, I'll go check other reviews! I really hope you're right about defiant, I get that feeling too, it's all going to come together 💛


Thanks so much Terrie! Yess I hope that too 🤞
