This was a great follow up sequel to Skyward! We get even more world building in this novel, and we learn so much more about the universe beyond their planet and find so many answers. I think that was something I really was wanting from this book, and it definitely delivered.

Overall, the plot still hooked me and liked how it was a completely different scenario from the first book. I think it was a tiny bit repetitive in the middle, which made it hard to read all at once. With the first book, I couldn't put it down. There were so many plot twists towards the end, my head was spinning. So many things just kept changing at once that it was almost overwhelming. 

So many more characters are introduced and I genuinely like them. We also see M-Bot become even more humanized and developed his relationship further with Spensa. Spensa really starts to learn more about herself and her purpose in this universe as well. She learns how to emphasize and understand that maybe the Krell aren't necessarily these completely awful enemies she's thought of her whole life. I enjoyed reading about her trials and those split emotions.

The ending came out of nowhere and once again it was a huge cliffhanger. Eagerly waiting the release of the next one.
