ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Skyward by Brandon Sanderson follows Spensa, a young girl determined to become a pilot and prove herself worthy of her father’s legacy. Her father was a decorated pilot who was dishonored for fleeing in battle, and Spensa faces constant ridicule as a result. Living on the isolated planet of Detritus, she trains to join the Defiant Defense Force and fight the alien Krell who threaten humanity’s survival. Themes of identity, courage, and the weight of family legacy drive the story, as Spensa must navigate personal struggles, societal pressures, and the brutal realities of war.
