I have read every one of Sanderson's books and this is absolutely up there with his best. It is also refreshing to have a full novel-length Sci-Fi book from Sanderson. I am pleasantly surprised by how well Sanderson fantasy world creation translates to a Sci-Fi book. I read it in one sitting. Just read this book--you will love it.

Another work of art by Brandon Sanderson. It felt like i was reading a better written YA Star Wars book about pilot school.

Fantastic novel that lives up to the high bar Sanderson has set with his earlier work. For those who haven't read the book:!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!Anyone who follows Brandon knows that Skyward was touted as a sequel to one of his earlier non cosmere novellas. I am thrilled with which one it turned out to be. For all of you who read the book and are coming back to read what others thought, here's the scoop.If you read this book and want more, and you have not yet read Defending Elysium, you should! Bonus, Brandon has made the entire novella available on his website, for FREE!

I haven’t been this engrossed in a book in ages! Thank you Mr. Sanderson for a great read and a new world to explore!!!

Good character development. Lots of room for sequels.
