At time I had to set the book down
There are young people in my life
I fear their future more than mine
A brother and sister, teen and preteen
A loving mother and father
Normal teen rebellion
War is coming
War arrives
Stuff happens
Our War by Craig DiLouie
An upsetting, unsettling book
Full of possibilities

Brandon Sanderson / Skyward / All-In / YA Space Opera
Skyward wastes no time
You are All-In all the way
Book one of the Skyward Series
Brandon Sanderson at his YA best
What can I say
Strong Female Protagonist
Spensa delivers
Sanderson delivers
Spenca is that little girl
The bullies can't break her
The pointed fingers can't break her
The whispers can't break her
The 'authorities' can't break her
This could easily be a standalone read
But, But, But
The Universe Sanderson opens at the end
The Universe is BIG, really BIG
I await book two with eager anticipation
