Skyward

Skyward

When I was looking for my next book to read I looked at which books on my Goodreads list had the highest reviews. This one was the highest, so I had some expectations of this book.

It lived up to it! I finished the book at 4:45 and the library closed at 5. I drove halfway there before realizing there was no way I was going to get there in time to get the next book. I had to wait a whole 24 hours to find to what happened to Spensa and M-Bot. Torture! 

Spensa is living on Detritus. She and the rest of humans on the planet live below the surface to hide from the alien Krell that are attacking the planet from space. Spensa's greatest dream is to become a fighter pilot. However, her father betrayed his fellow pilots ten years earlier, therefore Spensa's quest to become a pilot is full of challenges and hurdles. Spensa is a high-spirited, determined, young woman who readers will immediately fall in love with. 

This book is a great read for your readers that like the Hunger Games, Divergent, or Lunar Chronicles series.
