Defiant

The Fourth Skyward Novel

De: Brandon Sanderson

Narrado por: Sophie Aldred

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes the final book in an epic series about a girl who will travel beyond the stars to save the world she loves from destruction.

Spensa made it out of the Nowhere, but what she saw in the space between the stars has changed her forever. She came face to face with the Delvers, and finally got answers to the questions she's had about her own strange Cytonic gifts.

The Superiority didn't stop in it's fight for galactic dominance while she was gone, though. Spensa's team, Skyward Flight, was able to hold Winzik off, and even collect allies to help with the cause, but it's only a matter of time until humanity - and the rest of the galaxy - falls.

Defeating them will require all the knowledge Spensa gathered while in the Nowhere. But being Cytonic is more complicated than she ever could have imagined. Now, Spensa must ask herself: how far is she willing to go for victory, if it means losing herself - and her friends - in the process.

The final book in the Skyward series will free humanity, or see it fall forever.

Reseñas de la Crítica

A grand finale, presented with a touch light enough to buoy all the self-actualization

An engaging and impactful conclusion to the Skyward series

A page-turning conclusion

In typical Sanderlanche fashion, the climax was a stellar experience

another brisk YA fantasy from Sanderson - inventive, action-stuffed and surprising until the end

Secrets intensify this ripping yarn, which is crammed with peril, thrills and snappy dialogue

Brandon Sanderson is the most immersive fantasy writer I've ever encountered

Skyward is an adventure and a half that you won't want to miss. Even hardcore Cosmere fans will enjoy the special mix of fantasy and sci-fi that unfolds as you watch Spensa learn what it means to be truly brave.

Steelheart is the literature equivalent of a blockbuster; episodic and fast-paced with surprises around every turn.

Full of action

All the main characteristics of a Sanderson novel from a writer at the top of his game.

With this action-packed trilogy opener, Sanderson offers up a resourceful, fearless heroine and a memorable cast-including a strangely humorous, mushroom-obsessed robot-set against the backdrop of a desperate conflict. As the pulse-pounding story intensifies and reveals its secrets, a cliffhanger ending sets things up for the next instalment.

as always, Brandon Sanderson creates a unique and interesting universe we get to explore alongside the protagonist...a fun, action packed ride for those of us who remain a child at heart.

The world of The Reckoners is suddenly presented in all its glory. It's an incredibly vibrant setting that showcases the entire breadth of Sanderson's talent. Expect to finish this one in single sitting.

The stories are complex, fascinating, and filled to the brim with three-dimensional characters

Firefight is a visual, almost cinematic novel

Firefight is a rollercoaster ride of action, entertainment, and humour

Firefight is filled with a spine-tingling adventure and heart-racing action that promises to satisfy fans both new and old

A terrifically tall tale, packaging the superhero action into compelling, punchy chapters that keep you reading. It's a fast, feisty read with characters that are skillfully drawn, assassinations, gunfights, physics bending motorcycle chases and a world you can't wait to hear more about.

Great narration, but the character development is one sided

the overall plot is as you expect of a finishing novel to a young adult sci-fi series. while it is greatly narrated I think the plot and character development leaves a lot to be desired it is predictable and one-sided

Motherload of pay-offs after all the previous set up

The last sequence of events the author loads so many Checov’s guns that it might as well be Checov’s Arsenal and in the last chapter each gun fires in interesting ways. A great way to end the series.

Also the VA did a great job, all the main characters were easy to identify from the voice alone.

A thrilling finish!

Anyone who has followed Spensa and MBot on their adventures will love the thrills, shocks and survival of our amazing cast of characters.

Maturing of the characters.

As always I liked the overall story and characters with a good ending to the series. A bit too much of internal turmoil, but in line with growth of the characters.

Grande finale for an amazing series

Everything was wrapped up perfectly - like a good story ending, there is an opening for more, but not too far open to make it feel open-ended

I loved the interactions, the thought behind every character and the humanization of good and bad characters.

The story is unique and touching, I’m eager to listen more - and would definitely recommend-listen to it all.

Thank you for an amazing series!

P.S.
I love Sophie’s narration and love to listen to the main series with her voice.
For me it’s part of the perfection of this series.
