Review: Cytonic

Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It's been a minute since Sanderson put out a book in this current YA sci-fi series - two years, in fact - and it's pretty clear that he's used that time to really work hard on the material we got in this here Book 3. It feels so different from the previous books in this series for sure, miles away from the territory of Book 1 (with its extremely Ender's Game-esque storyline) and Book 2 with its laser-focus on Spensa and M-Bot and its blazing fast action. This time, Sanderson gets into some much more cerebral territory, taking the reader into some truly unexpected realms that question everything about what it means to be sentient. It's truly out of this universe, much more so than out of this world, and now we're getting some real promise for what comes next in the upcoming fourth (and final?) book, Defiant. (Nobody tell Veronica Roth that title is taken, lol.)
