That scene where Spensa showed Cuna who she really was is SO powerful. I really hope that Cuna survived. Siento que al final ha sido una muy buena elección realizar esta relectura porque no me acordaba siquiera del 10% del argumento principal. Suelo hacer anotaciones para refrescar mi memoria en este tipo de casos, pero ni siquiera mis anotaciones me hubieran ayudado en esta ocasión. Realmente, fue una gran decisión realizar esta relectura.

Additionally, I have a few other novellas that are more on the thriller/sci-fi side. These include the Legion series, as well as Perfect State and Snapshot. There’s a lot of material to go around! M-Bot deactivates all the surveillance in Spensa’s quarters. He starts looking for clues and info on what’s going on. He tells her a bit about how the government here works and what the politics are like. We have grown complacent, timid. I fear that a little aggression, a little strife, might be exactly what we need. Or else…or else we will fall to the first wolf that sneaks past the gates.” Cobb and Spensa worry about the battleships.

There is SO MUCH more worldbuilding (galaxybuilding?) in this book, and I ate it all up with a spoon because that is what I am ABOUT. Including some neat aliens - and btw, if anyone else listened to that Writing Excuses episode about worldbuilding gender roles and got worried about alien gender, don't be; the idea discussed on the podcast has been refined and made way more alien/less parallel to human genders and reproduction, and I actually quite liked it. During a battle with the Krell a couple months after the Battle of Alta Second, a alien named Alanik, of the UrDail species, crashes on Detritus and gives Spensa the opportunity to take her place and spy on the Krell. [3] [4] Alanik was cytonic like Spensa, and imprinted the coordinates for a place called Starsight in her brain. [4] Spensa hyperjumps for the second time and finds herself at the center of bureaucracy for the Superiority, the alien organization that had kept humans imprisoned on Detritus for decades. [5] I can't really talk much about the characters either since new ones are introduced, but Spensa, Jorgen, Kimmalyn, and M-Bot are all in this story.

The alien (Alanik) tells Spensa that their people used to be allies. She warns Spensa against trusting Starsight. The name "delver" is mentioned once in Skyward before being properly introduced in Starsight; whenever the delvers are referenced in Skyward, Spensa uses "the eyes" instead. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HAPPENED TO M-BOT?! I know I shouldn't have been THAT upset about what happened to him, but I am. A century after the Third Human War, the delver threat remained in the public consciousness, although the protective standards grew far more lax. At this time, Winzik, head of Superiority's Department of Protective Services, conceived of a plan to once more deliberately summon a delver and control it, and to use it as a weapon against those who'd go against the Superiority. The lynchpin of his plan was Brade, a powerful human cytonic under his command. [13]Brandon Sanderson, en este volumen, se ha dedicado a expandir su propio cosmos, su propio universo creado. Su historia requería traspasar nuevos horizontes, presentar especies alienígenas, otorgar respuestas, dar innovaciones respecto a la tecnología, y todo eso es lo que ha realizado en este volumen. Es un argumento donde la naturaleza agresiva de Spensa, causada por el permanente riesgo de extinción, se ve contrastada por la forma pacífica de vivir de otras especies en el universo. Estos detalles combinados crean una atmósfera excelente y agradable para el lector; atmósfera, que como los buenos libros de ciencia ficción, te dejan con la sensación de querer vivir una aventura en ese mundo desconocido, como si fueras el protagonista. Es una ambientación que, basada naturalmente en la experiencia de los turistas que tienen problemas para adaptarse en un país extranjero, logra hacernos sentir mucha empatía hacia Spensa; y más, teniendo en cuenta, el rol espía que tiene que desarrollar en prácticamente toda la historia. No es fácil ser un espía, y más cuando debemos ser tan atentos para no cometer fallos en situaciones cotidianas como ir al baño, comer, hablar, etc. Asimismo, tenemos la posibilidad de observar desde una perspectiva diferente los enemigos de la raza humana; perspectiva que nos invita a comprender -o por lo menos intentar- a las personas con las que no nos llevamos bien. ¿Por qué cierta persona siente apatía por nosotros? Si nos encontráramos con una persona como nosotros mismos, ¿cómo sería nuestra reacción? Un bonito mensaje que nos deja el autor de no juzgar sin conocer. En verdad, la ambientación creada por Brandon Sanderson es uno de los mejores aspectos del libro.

Except that Spensa is Cytonic. She faced down a Delver and saw something eerily familiar about it. And maybe, if she’s able to figure out what she is, she could be more than just another pilot in this unfolding war. She could save the galaxy. Spensa pretends to be Alanik and tries out for the Superiority's new Delver Resistance Project, hoping to discover the secret to hyperdrives. [6] She trains in a flight with Vapor, a non-corporeal figment; Morriumur, a draft; Hesho, former king of the Kitsen; and Brade, a tamed and registered human. [7] After they report for practie, Hesho renames their flight (originally called Flight 15) Flowers of Night's Last Kiss. [8] Here’s our recap of what happened in Starsight by Brandon Sanderson. Read on for a full plot summary of Starsight to refresh your memory! what happened in Starsight?

I've raved about the dogfighting scenes in my review of Skyward. While there were fewer dogfights in Starsight, there were still enough well-written and awesome action scenes to make this book an exciting and fun read. The big climax at end of this book when we reach the hallmark Sanderlanche was much bigger in scale and quite terrifying. One of the coolest worldbuilding elements in Starsight would fit right into a scifi horror movie. Sanderson's action scenes are always so cinematic and have such visual clarity. It doesn't matter whether it's a magic or space battle, you can see everything that is happening. The use of light-lances was such an inventive way of creating a more dramatic aerial battle scene. It pushes the boundaries of real flight patterns to make it more fantastical, but also seem highly plausible and infinitely more interesting. Special thanks to my Patrons on Patreon for giving me extra support towards my passion for reading and reviewing!A fully manifested delver is titanic in scale, enough so to have its own gravitational pull. The one summoned by Brade is somewhere between a massive moon and a small planet, while the one called over Detritus in ancient past was capable of enveloping the entirety of the planet. [9] [3] Interior [ edit ] Deborah Nicol-Omeruah, Ag. Chief Executive Officer, UPDC said: “The partnership with Starsight is aligned with UPDC’s broader strategy to strengthen and scale our facilities management portfolio, with a view towards sustainable growth and value. Expanding our service offering to include the provision of energy management solutions enables the company to increase the revenues generated in each of its existing managed properties and provides a strong basis for servicing new developments looking for more robust facility management services. The first known appearance of a delver occurred during the second of the human wars. During that time, mankind built facilities on obscure planets as part of a weapons program hoping to summon and control a delver, with Detritus being one such base. [27] They have also built stations to train people in handling the delvers. [28] Though their attempts were successful, the beings proved impossible to control, and in some cases, the cytoshields proved insufficient, leading to delvers destroying the very people who sought them out.
