Amazing

4 stars

This book was enjoyable and a fitting way to wrap up the series. Though, for a young adult novel, it was fairly straightforward, it had an explosive finish and managed to tie up pretty much all the major plotlines that were ongoing. The story moved along at a rapid pace and had intriguing characters. An enjoyable science fiction/fantasy series overall. I find it exciting that there seems to be more to explore in this universe!

An epic conclusion to the Skyward series

The characters were interesting and the plot very fast paced. Overall, an enjoyable science fiction/fantasy series. Apparently there is more to continue in this universe which sounds exciting to me!

It's all just tied up a little too quickly for a four book series.

If I had to rate the series, the first book was a lot of fun, the second book brought in larger worldbuilding that I …
