Starsight

Overview: The second volume of a Science Fiction adventure which broadens the story and raises important questions about xenophobia while being a fun action filled adventure story.After 1st Reading: A roaring sequel that expanded the world, deepened the characters and raised mysteries that I am so looking forward to exploring. A real cliffhanger ending though, I can't wait for the next book!After 2nd Reading: This volume had a completely different feeling to the first. The first book had an almost claustrophobic feeling as Spin fought against the literal and social barriers placed around her. This book had very little of that, instead the focus was on the prejudices that Spin had built up about “the enemy”. Spin has been told all her life that they are faceless monsters - now she gets to meet them and - guess what? People are people. OK this is Science Fiction so some of them are cute fox-gerbil-samurai, but they're still people.So yes - a rip roaring adventure in space with plenty of humour and some good morals. A jolly good read.After 3rd Reading: Still loving it!Note: After reading this book I went on to the novellas [b:Sunreach 57903876 Sunreach (Skyward, #2.1) Brandon Sanderson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1632169745l/57903876.SX50.jpg 90713801] and [b:ReDawn 57903879 ReDawn (Skyward, #2.2) Brandon Sanderson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1633436358l/57903879.SX50.jpg 90713832] before reading [b:Cytonic 57571215 Cytonic (Skyward, #3) Brandon Sanderson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1622045953l/57571215.SX50.jpg 67851209].
