This week we have a recommendation from our work experience bookselller, Olive!
🌕Brandon Sanderson has some of the best sci-fi fantasy novels that I have ever read, with Skyward being at the top of the list. His creativity when it comes to character design and world building is truly amazing. I become so immersed in his books that it feels as if I’m really there with the characters. The book is based on a deserted planet, where humanity was forced to relocate after aliens, known as the Krell, forced them to crash land hundreds of years ago, keeping them trapped underground in burrows. Spensa’s dream is to get into flight school and fight the Krell like her father did. But after Spensa’s father disappears in the middle of a Krell attack, then later reappearing, shooting and killing his own flight mates before being shot down from the air, she’s shunned by the rest of the colony, labelled a coward’s daughter. Once she gets into flight school, she’s discriminated against by her superiors who fought with her father, saying she’ll be just like her father and become a coward.🌕
