Much of this book is devoted to the character growth of the characters. The imagination of author Brandon Sanderson is truly amazing. My prediction turned out to be far too easy. At the beginning of Cytonic, I thought I knew exactly what was about to happen. The plot twists in this book are genuinely incredible, though. I hope to see the original crew again in the next book! It made sense that they didn’t appear in Star View, but I thought – and hoped – that they would be back by now, but they weren’t. I expected something more.Īlso, I would have liked to see the characters from the first book back in the story. In Skyward it made sense to follow that build up, and I understood why Sanderson reused it in Starsight, but then to repeat it again in Cytonic…. I felt like Cytonic contained the same cycle again as the previous two books: Spensa finds a new group of people and starts bonding and training with them. There was action in it, but not as much as in the first two books. I also felt that this book contained quite a bit of padding. Still, this book is not my favorite from the series. We also got to see a lot of many revelations that built on the plot. The world was built up even more in Cytonic, something that didn’t seem possible to me. A place even more dangerous and mysterious than we thought. In Cytonic we follow Spensa again, but this time she is on a mission in the no man’s land. The only way she can discover what she really is, though, is to leave behind all she knows and enter the Nowhere. And maybe, if she’s able to figure out what she is, she could be more than just another pilot in this unfolding war. She faced down a Delver and saw something eerily familiar about it. Spensa knows that no matter how many pilots the DDF has, there is no defeating this predatoĮxcept that Spensa is Cytonic. Ancient, mysterious alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant. And Spensa has seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Now, the Superiority-the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life-has started a galaxy-wide war. What’s more, she traveled light-years from home as an undercover spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell-the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. Spensa’s life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary.
