Book Review: Starsight by Brandon Sanderson

6/5/2020

​She made it to the stars, but what she found among them changed everything.

Spensa and her ship, M-Bot, make an amazing team. Luring Krell fighters into ambushes, zipping through the layers of centuries-old machinery orbiting her planet (which is actually a penal colony/human nature preserve), and protecting her family and friends.

Out of nowhere (pun intended - those who've read the book will know what I did there), another alien ship crashes on Detritus and passes information to Spensa and if she doesn't use it immediately, her chances of learning more about how to fight the Superiority will fade to oblivion. Spensa takes M-Bot on a mission, for which she is woefully unprepared, to Starsight.

What I liked:

As expected, Brandon Sanderson takes us along beside Spensa to explore the world beyond Detritus. Surprising twists and turns unfold as she makes allies and enemies. I enjoyed the exploration of M-Bot's "humanity" as well as the strange and new lifeforms that naturally extend from the protagonist's universe. Sanderson gives ample description to let the reader see what he imagines as he writing.

What I didn't like:

As expected, there was nothing that stood out to me as unimportant to the story. I will say that from the title alone, I fully expected the story to go in a different direction, but at the same time, it tied into what I thought the story would be about.

Overall:

​Starsight is a wonderful continuation of Spensa's world and her struggle to bring not only freedom, but peace, to her people and planet constantly under fire. I give it a solid 4 stars, not that the author needs a recommendation from me.
