Part 1 offers a flurry of activity, plenty of cool flying, and many clues about how the DDF has changed in the short six months that have passed since we last saw the crew, following the Battle of Alta Second. Starsight is not the sequel many fans are expecting. Otherwise, he keeps the novel’s structure similar to Skyward, with five parts filled with action and cliffhangers (more on those cliffhangers in a moment). We’re thrown right into the mix-no flashbacks or memories from a younger Spensa this time around. In Starsight, Sanderson’s impressive ability to write action scenes is on full display right from page one. (Note: If you are not ready for spoilers, you can check out our non-spoiler review here.)

In the process, we get to learn more about the wider world and the war that is so desperately being waged by the DDF.Ĭhecking in again from Beta Flight for this full spoiler review are Darci Cole, callsign: Blue, and Deana Whitney, callsign: Braid. Starsight launches us on a new stretch of Spensa’s journey to learn more about herself, her father, her ship M-Bot, and even her pet, Doomslug the Destroyer. Skyward introduced readers to the harsh world of Detritus and gave us a full cast of characters to root for as they fought against mysterious aliens called the Krell. Set outside Sanderson’s Cosmere worlds, this series is an action-packed adventure sure to please anyone who has dreamed about reaching for the stars. In Starsight, the highly anticipated follow-up to Brandon Sanderson’s Skyward, we continue Spensa Nightshade’s journey as she strives to become the best fighter pilot in the Defiant Defence Force (DDF).
