Cytonic 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.
Cytonic is the third installment of the Skyward series. In this rendition, Spensa goes on an adventure through the nowhere. The Delvers call the nowhere home and it’s the source of mysterious powers. Throughout the book, the theme of persistence is constantly brought up with Spensa facing many challenges throughout the text but finding unique solutions for each. Cytonic is a science fiction book with slower plot progression than the others in the series, but it becomes a great read when the plot gets faster and more exciting.
Spying on the Superiority has its consequences and Spensa figures that out fast. Throughout the book, Spensa discovers more and more about her power and being a Cytonic. This allows her to use her powers to take on the Superiority more effectively. Cytonic isn’t a book I would read on its own, but it is essential to the rest of the series. The book is prolonged at the beginning and middle but picks up near the end and builds up the plot for the final book of the series. If you like the Skyward series, I would not skip this book but if you just like science fiction, I think this is one it would be ok to skip. It is one of the better books I have ever read but not something that I would highly recommend.
