She is determined to become a pilot and to find a way to clear her father’s name. She never believes it, though – she knew her father and she never doubts him. Spensa is outcast, the daughter of a coward. Or, at least, that’s the story that the DDF are telling. In a massive fight, he turned tail and ran, abandoning his duty and his fellow pilots. He was a hero, one of the best pilots they had. Spensa’s father was a fighter-pilot, tasked with keeping the humans on Detritus safe from the Krell. But now they have ships and they’re fighting back. Whenever they try to gather in number, they are attacked by Krell, the aliens who caused them to crash in the first place. The last of the human race are trapped on a planet called Detritus, on which they crashed a couple of generations ago. It is well paced and engaging, full of fun and adventure.
Skyward is a YA space opera, so a bit outside of my usual fare. The other thing was that he read from Skyward, the book he was working on at the time. I already loved his work – now I also like and respect the man. He made her year and secured himself in my list of favourite authors. My then-11-year-old daughter was there (the only child present, even though Sanderson writes MG and YA stuff as well as his adult fiction) and he made a point of taking her question and speaking to her and encouraging her. Two important things happened that night. She could save the galaxy.In December 2017, I saw Brandon Sanderson speak in Glasgow as part of his Oathbringer tour. 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. 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.
