Week 52 Review: Evershore

From Goodreads:

From #1 bestselling author Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson comes the final of three Skyward series novellas, each told from the perspective of a different member of the team back on Detritus. Listen to Jorgen's story along with Cytonic.

With the government of Detritus in disarray because of Superiority treachery, and with Spensa still away on her mission in the Nowhere, Jorgen must work together with the alien Alanik to pick up the pieces. They intercept a strange transmission from the planet Evershore and its Kitsen inhabitants, who say they have some of Jorgen's people and want to return them—but can the Kitsen be trusted? And can Jorgen learn to master his increasingly erratic cytonic powers before they spiral out of control and destroy all hope of forming an alliance against the Superiority? 

My Review:
Oh, man, this was a fantastic story! I felt so badly for Jorgen, after the end of the previous novella, with his parents dying right in front of him, with Cobb missing, Jorgen has a lot of stress on him, and lot of burdens that he's worried that he's going to mess up. And given that humanity is fighting against an enemy that wants to wipe them out, the stakes are high. So it kinda sucks to be him!

This story mainly takes place on the Kitsen planet as they are the next group of people with whom humanity can ally with. We did meet them before in Starsight, and of course there was the no-longer-emperor in Cytonic, so it was great to have a full story of interactions with them! And given that they have a rich history of Cytonics, even if no Cytonics have been born among them in a while, is very helpful! 

A good portion of this book is Jorgen learning how to use his cytonic abilities. We've see both Spensa and Alanik deal with theirs, but each person has different strengths, and Jorgen learns his strength in this book, with the help of a Kitsen mentor, which was pretty hilarious! 

Cytonic did mention that Jorgen would be the commander of the forces, as well as that Detritus had moved, but I'd forgotten that, so when all that went down, well, it was pretty shocking! I mean, who could see that one coming! But I can't wait to see how that all pays out! 

Loved reading this novella, and I can't wait for the final book in the Skyward series, at least, the final one following Spensa!
