Week 42 Review: Sunreach

From Goodreads:

From #1 bestselling author Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson comes the first of three Skyward series novellas, each told from the perspective of a different member of the team back on Detritus. Read FM's story between Starsight and Cytonic.

When a planet-destroying Delver suddenly appears in the sky of Detritus and vanishes just as suddenly, FM knows that the last free human society got lucky. Her Skyward Flight companion, Spensa, figured out how to draw this Delver away, but it won't be so easy next time.

The forces of the Galactic Superiority will be back—and if the Defiant Defense Force can't figure out a way to escape the planet, humanity's destruction is only a matter of time. Spensa's mission to infiltrate the Superiority unveiled the secret to their hyperdrives—a cytonic slug species called the Taynix. Now FM's flightleader, Jorgen, has found a large group of Taynix hiding in the caverns far below Detritus's surface.

FM and Jorgen must work together with the engineer Rig to awaken the mysterious alien Alanik and unlock the powers of the Taynix, or humanity will be trapped. With Spensa's friend Minister Cuna of the Superiority stranded at the outpost of Sunreach, they need to figure out how to rescue her—or the Superiority government will be in the sole clutches of those who want to wipe out Detritus once and for all.

My Review:
I had a great time reading this story! I loved being in this world again-and seeing the Skyward Flight, because we barely saw them in Starsight. It was great to spend this time with these characters, and it's ramping up my excitement for Cytonic! 

It was really great to be in FM's head. She's a pilot, and it's such a stressful job, the fate of humanity does weigh heavy on her shoulders. I loved her story, and dealing with her emotions towards Rig, because there is a good chance that she could die, and would starting anything be worth it, and I just loved that plotline! 

I loved the learning about cyontics-and about the Taynix, and how all that works. I felt so badly for them, but they were brave, and face the eyes, and I'm so proud of them for all working together! That was so satisfying! 

I can't wait to see where these stories go from here, things are ramping up, and with that rescue, I can't wait to see the fallout from that, that's going to be interesting, as well as just having Cuna and co. there, what's going to happen with that! 

This was a fantastic read, and I can't wait for the other 2 novellas and Cytonic!
