All my life I've been a voracious reader, inhaling multiple books a week. But the last two years, I've been in a book slump. I've read good books, but I could easily put them down for days and even weeks at a time. This book finally engaged the obsessed reader in me. It was delivered promptly on Tuesday and yesterday evening I decided to curl up in bed and read for a few hours. Well, I stayed up till midnight and finished it! I always love Brandon Sanderson, but he has a special knack of writing YA characters that are flawed, engaging, and incredibly readable. Even though Spin irritated me to no end, especially at the beginning, her journey to someone that I liked immensely felt very natural. The world was fascinating, and while I had a bit of an inkling of the "twist" towards the end, I definitely did not have the details down and I thoroughly enjoyed it! In short, this book made me feel like a reader again, and so I loved it:)

I’m an avid reader of anything Sanderson writes. Through the years he has continued to surprise me. If you haven’t read his books you need to do so, if you like adventure you can’t go wrong, and if you want to find out about a “doomslug” you need to read this one. Another win by Brandon...

Brandon Sanderson is great at world building. This is the first of his novels where that would is sci-fi rather than traditional fantasy. He knocks it out of the park.

This keeps you enthralled the entire way through. I’m sad I have to wait a year before I get to know more.

I'm not a huge fan of books that include space or ships, but I love Brandon's writing so I gave this one a shot. And, like always with Sanderson books, I stayed up way too late reading because I fell in love with the characters and story. I highly recommend this book.
