Review: Starsight

Starsight by Brandon Sanderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The second book of Sanderson's latest YA series moves a lot more slowly than its predecessor, but that's because this time around, we're still working to process the big reveals at the end of Skyward. With all the knowledge of this particular fictional universe turned upside down, and bursting open with the inclusion of yet more aliens, Spensa and M-Bot have their work cut out for them if they're to survive in a universe determined to eliminate them at all costs. And while most of the side characters are really sidelined - Jorgen, for instance, really only gets a few brief interludes every 80 pages or so - streamlining the story to focus much more on Spensa and M-Bot is a real boon. After this, we're halfway through what Sanderson is promising to be a four-part series, but it's going to be a really hard wait till 2021 for the third book. But at least he's got the fourth Stormlight Archive novel lined up for November of this year, so bonus!
