Resumen del Editor

From number one best-selling author Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson comes the first of three Skyward series novellas, each told from the perspective of a different member of the team back on Detritus. Listen to FM's story between Starsight and Cytonic.

When a planet-destroying Delver suddenly appears in the sky of Detritus and vanishes just as suddenly, FM knows that the last free human society got lucky. Her Skyward Flight companion, Spensa, figured out how to draw this Delver away, but it won’t be so easy next time.

The forces of the Galactic Superiority will be back - and if the Defiant Defense Force can’t figure out a way to escape the planet, humanity’s destruction is only a matter of time. Spensa’s mission to infiltrate the Superiority unveiled the secret to their hyperdrives - a cytonic slug species called the Taynix. Now FM’s flightleader, Jorgen, has found a large group of Taynix hiding in the caverns far below Detritus’s surface.

FM and Jorgen must work together with the engineer Rig to awaken the mysterious alien Alanik and unlock the powers of the Taynix, or humanity will be trapped. With Spensa’s friend Minister Cuna of the Superiority stranded at the outpost of Sunreach, they need to figure out how to rescue them - or the Superiority government will be in the sole clutches of those who want to wipe out Detritus once and for all.

"It is impossible to turn the pages fast enough." (Booklist)

A Confession

Shh... I'm a grandfather and love epic fantasy, but I confess that my favorite Bandon Sanderson series is Skyward. The characters are all epic, flaws and all.

I loved this Novella and it fills in an important gap in what is going on at Detritus while Spin is elsewhere. The primary character focus is from FM's point of view along with Rig. I loved the story and highly recommend the book. I can't wait until the next ones come out. Suzy Jackson is the perfect narrator for this series.

Wow an absolute masterpiece

This was such an amazing masterpiece and I absolutely love every minute of this adventure.

Amazing

Brilliant naration, as always. The partnership between the two authors gave this story a realistic feeling of a different character's perspective but kept the personalities and overall feel of the story perfectly in tact. Can't wait to read the next one!

Great Story

The story and plot were both great, I’m a big fan of Brandon Sanderson; however I would much rather have read this on paper than listened to it. I avoid audio books because I struggle with narrators, I’d rather the book was just read rather than performed. I’m sure it’s not an easy job, but it was really distracting that this particular narrator struggled to pronounce the last “d” in any conjunctions. That may have been part of her interpretation of the character, but it was distracting.

Wow! What a great addition!

I loved this book—-such a payoff—-I’m glad I didn’t skip the novellas to jump into book 3—Sunreach is well worth your time

So good!

I freaking love this series! It took me a while to get into it, but now I'm hooked. I love the character arcs, love the classic Brandon twists, love the worlds he creates.

Please keep writing and never stop!

finally! some plot holes filled in

Finding this novella series to accompany the main books was a real treat. I felt like the novels really left huge holes in the plot and character development that left me wanting to know more. Sometimes that is good in a book, but here it left me feeling unsatisfied.

The FM character novella does a great job of adding some scaffolding over those holes in the novel and providing character development that was missing in the original series.

Suzy Jackson does a great job with the voice work for the Audible version.

clearly a side story

I enjoyed this, as I really like the characters in the universe. But you can tell it's mostly written by the second author. I will listen to All of these, but I'm not interested in the main series.

I had to fist pump the air

When I heard the ending I couldn't help myself fist pumping the air, stomping my feet and silently screaming at the awesomeness of FM. Spensa is still my favorite but we can't all be Spin. We need FM, Rig, Jorgen etc. Everyone is important. Everyone's story is important. I love that this one was shared with me.

Favorite book in this series!

I don't want to spoil a thing, but this is exactly what my partner and I wanted. Some much needed filling in about characters and their own themes and adventures. and more doomslugs!!!!! 5/5. 10/10 story. Makes me love the "central" story of the series but I also love this for itself.
