cause his world-building and character development is definitely some of the best, if a little biased towards young readers.This is a subreddit for all things related to sci-fi/fantasy author Brandon Sanderson! Please take a moment to review our rules! Rulesįirst and foremost, we ask that everyone show respect to others in this community. Or that Sanderson gets an itch to write some pure sci-fi at some point. I hope beyond hope that this was a necessary delve into the "cytonic power" backstory and exposition, and the next books get back to scifi with a dash of magic. My opinion is that Sanderson has plenty of pure fantasy.

Fans of fantasy, or the real weirdos who like a full blend of fantasy/sci-fi will probably love it. but at least half of it could have been montaged, and the rest given over to moving the real world/actual story along. It's entertaining, and dives into the deeper mysteries surrounding cytonics and all that, and she learns and grows all along the way, and that *is* important for the overall arc. The vast majority of it is Spin off in never never land dealing with absurd people and problems. were sci-fi with a dash of woo woo mystery/tech, this one is like 80%+ woo woo. The only way she can discover what she really is, though, is to leave behind all she knows and enter the Nowhere. And maybe, if she’s able to figure out what she is, she could be more than just another pilot in this unfolding war. She faced down a Delver and saw something eerily familiar about it.

Spensa knows that no matter how many pilots the DDF has, there is no defeating this predator.Įxcept that Spensa is Cytonic. Ancient, mysterious alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant. And Spensa’s seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Now, the Superiority - the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life - has started a galaxy-wide war. What’s more, she traveled light-years from home as an undercover spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus, and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell - the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades.

Spensa’s life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary. From the number one New York Times best-selling author of the Reckoners series, the Mistborn trilogy, and the Stormlight Archive comes the third book in an epic series about a girl who will travel beyond the stars to save the world she loves from destruction.
