Publisher's summary

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.

a really good, fun sci-fi novel

this is a really great follow up to the first book skyward, it manages to be both different enough to be fresh but still keeping the spirit of the first book intact. a definite read for anyone who liked the first book and any sci-fi fan in general and the narrator did an excellent job as well.

Just addictive!

The story of Spensa, M-Bot and Doomslug continues. I love the reflection on interacting with different species - a reminder of the dangers of ignorance when it comes to interacting with different folk. Such a fun story with brilliant twists and turns. Set aside some time because you won’t be able to put this down.

Lovely

Overall fun story as I expected. Congrats to the author and to the whole team that produced this audio book. It was a bit hard to get used to the new voices at the beginning but it was fun overall. Waiting for the next one 😊

I knew it, I knew it

And it was still very satisfying to hear “the secret”
I love this book, very entertaining and also helps putting things in perspective about how we think of people who are different to us.
I don’t know why M-Bot has a Scottish accent but I like it.
