Publisher's summary

The sequel to the New York Times best seller Skyward!

From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Reckoners series, Words of Radiance, the Mistborn trilogy, and the Stormlight Archive comes the second book in an epic series about a girl with a secret in a dangerous world at war for humanity's future.

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 rumors 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. Everything Spensa has been taught about her world is a lie.

But Spensa also discovered a few other things about herself - and she'll travel to the end of the galaxy to save humankind if she needs to.

"[A] nonstop, highflying opener." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

"With this action-packed trilogy opener, Sanderson offers up a resourceful, fearless heroine and a memorable cast." (Publishers Weekly)

"Sanderson delivers a cinematic adventure that explores the defining aspects of the individual versus the society.... Fans of Sanderson will not be disappointed." (SLJ)

Great Female Hero…

I liked the storyline and the vocals were covered well. Narrator was able to distinguish between characters well. Very absorbing and plot didn’t feel slow or rushed. Ready for the next one in the series

Excellent, Brilliant, Thrilling.

The narrator Suzy Jackson brings this stellar sequel to life. The voices for each character are perfectly crafted and executed; very clear enunciation, bringing each character to life.

Sanderson expertly mixes the advancement of plot, character development, and detail diving, balancing out the need of the reader to be informed while facilitating mystery and intrigue.

Highly looking forward to the sequel!

Great Sequel

Really enjoyed this one. I was skeptical because I thought Skyward was not one of Sanderson‘s best. That one had too much teenage angst and coming of age for my taste
This one kept me fully engrossed.

M-Bot, ba duba dop, ba duba dop

A captivating story where Spensa thrusts herself into the unknown to protect mankind. Startsight is an exhilarating ride from start to finish with mysteries around every light-lance turn. It explores the limits of Spensa's newly found powers and what lays beyond the stars, even the ones that watch her.
Suzy Jackson's performance is off the charts.

Very Good

It was really good, but a crazy cliff hanger of an ending. Can't wait to find out what happens, hopefully we won't have to wait too long.
