( ) https://www.instagram.com/p/C3fplRHrduW/ Brandon Sanderson - Defiant: It’s an ending. I imagine this series connected more with teens than others. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews Defiant is the conclusion to the Skyward quartet, although there are also 3 novellas from the perspectives of secondary characters which take place during book 3, and a sequel trilogy is in the works. Like the other books in the series, Defiant is well written, with compelling characters and engaging plot. The conclusion is somewhat more predictable in this book than in the other three, but it is still a great read. In this 4th book of the Skyward series Spensa returns from the Nowhere, after sharing her soul with the Delver she refers to as Chet. With the addition of Chet, she also demonstrates that she has enhanced new powers. She also realizes that the Delvers fear her but she doesn't know how to capitalize on this. Winzik, with the help of the human Brade, has taken control of the Superiority and now threatens Spensa's home world of Detritus. Spensa definitely matures as the book progresses as she sheds her instinct to disregard the orders of her superiors. I found this book on par with the other sequels, but the first book of the series is still far and away the best and remains one of the best books I have ever read. In the Epilogue Sanderson cleverly lays the groundwork for further adventures in this interesting Universe. no reviews | add a review

HTML: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. No library descriptions found. |
