Skyward: The First Skyward Novel
Autor Brandon Sandersonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 mar 2021
THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON BEHIND THE COSMERE
****
'We must not cower in the dark because we're afraid of the spark within us. The answer is not to put out the spark, but to learn to control it'
Spensa's world has been under attack for hundreds of years. An alien race called the Krell leads onslaught after onslaught from the sky in a never-ending campaign to destroy humankind. Humanity's only defense is to take to their ships and fight the enemy in the skies. Pilots have become the heroes of what's left of the human race.
Spensa has always dreamed of being one of them; of soaring above Earth and proving her bravery. But her fate is intertwined with her father's - a pilot who was killed years ago when he abruptly deserted his team, placing Spensa's chances of attending flight school somewhere between slim and none.
No one will let Spensa forget what her father did, but she is still determined to fly. And the Krell just made that a possibility. They've doubled their fleet, making Spensa's world twice as dangerous . . . but their desperation to survive might just take her skyward . . .

Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express
Rubi Onisor a dat nota:
Este prima dată când citesc ceva de Brandon Sanderson și trebuie să spun că mi-a plăcut foarte mult. Spensa trebuie să demonstreze că este diferită de tatăl ei, care a fost un pilot admirat de toată lumea până când a luat o decizie greșită într-o zi. După aceea, Spensa a trebuit să trăiască în umbra tatălui ei pentru cea mai mare parte a ei, tot ce și-a dorit cu adevărat era să zboare așa cum a făcut cândva tatăl ei. Această carte nu te va lăsa să scapi, vei dori să o termini într-o singură ședință, serios, a fost atât de bună. Există tot ce trebuie să-ți placă, sunt nave spațiale, există extratereștri, spațiu, lucruri ciudate care se întâmplă etc. Singurul lucru care nu mi-a plăcut și motivul pentru care nu am dat 5 stele a fost că nu a existat dragoste. Adică, nici măcar un sărut. Am fost foarte dezamăgit. Dar, în general, a reușit să-mi păstreze atenția pe tot parcursul poveștii. Aș recomanda această carte oricărei vârste între 8 și 18 ani. Citiți această carte dacă v-a plăcut seria Illuminae Files, Star Wars, Guardians of the Galaxy etc. Înțelegeți ideea.
Recenzii
Secrets intensify this ripping yarn, which is crammed with peril, thrills and snappy dialogue
Steelheart is the literature equivalent of a blockbuster; episodic and fast-paced with surprises around every turn.
Skyward is an adventure and a half that you won't want to miss. Even hardcore Cosmere fans will enjoy the special mix of fantasy and sci-fi that unfolds as you watch Spensa learn what it means to be truly brave.
All the main characteristics of a Sanderson novel from a writer at the top of his game.
Full of action
With this action-packed trilogy opener, Sanderson offers up a resourceful, fearless heroine and a memorable cast-including a strangely humorous, mushroom-obsessed robot-set against the backdrop of a desperate conflict. As the pulse-pounding story intensifies and reveals its secrets, a cliffhanger ending sets things up for the next instalment.
as always, Brandon Sanderson creates a unique and interesting universe we get to explore alongside the protagonist...a fun, action packed ride for those of us who remain a child at heart.
The world of The Reckoners is suddenly presented in all its glory. It's an incredibly vibrant setting that showcases the entire breadth of Sanderson's talent. Expect to finish this one in single sitting.
This deeply entertaining first episode in a series is for fans of aerial warfare stories in which the characters are as well-devised as the machines.
Startling revelations and stakes-raising implications ... Sanderson plainly had a ball with this nonstop, highflying opener, and readers will too
The stories are complex, fascinating, and filled to the brim with three-dimensional characters
Firefight is a visual, almost cinematic novel
Firefight is a rollercoaster ride of action, entertainment, and humour
Firefight is filled with a spine-tingling adventure and heart-racing action that promises to satisfy fans both new and old
A terrifically tall tale, packaging the superhero action into compelling, punchy chapters that keep you reading. It's a fast, feisty read with characters that are skillfully drawn, assassinations, gunfights, physics bending motorcycle chases and a world you can't wait to hear more about.
