Starsight by Brandon Sanderson
My name is Kyle, and I’m an 8th grader. I love to read fiction books specifically Sci-Fi. I also love to ski and play football in my free time.
Starsight is Spensa’s second adventure in the Skyward book series. Like Skyward, the author takes you on an adventure with Spensa. When you read this book, it feels like you are really in the story with the main character, which seems to be a constant in Brandon Sanderson’s writing. Starsight is a Sci-fi book just like its predecessor and is extremely action-packed; when you think the plot has finally slowed down it picks right back up. In Starsight Spensa finally discovers more about who is trapping humanity on Detritus and why they are doing so much to keep humanity from leaving. Starsight is a story about bravery, perseverance, and defiance.
Spensa had finally achieved her dream of flying but at what cost? She had lost many friends on the way and now she has to fight a force bigger than anything she had faced yet. Starsight is written in a first-person point of view. This style of writing allows the reader to step into Spensa’s shoes and understand what is happening to Spensa throughout the text from her perspective. Starsight is a top 10 book that I have ever read. Next to Skyward it was probably the best book in the series and a must-read in my opinion. The plot progresses fast enough to keep you entertained but also has elements of romance and other niche topics that make the book entertaining. Overall, I would say this book is a must-read for Sci-Fi fans.
