In ReDawn, Alanik has recovered from the shock of answering a distress call and finding a planet of humans making a stand against the Superiority, only to be dismayed to discover they're considering a peace overture from their enemy. Worse, when she returns to her home planet of ReDawn, she find her own people falling into exactly the same trap. With her mentor captured, she turns to her new friends to help: can Alanik, FM, Jorgen and Rig coax an ancient technology into life in time to save both their planets from disaster?And in Evershore, the government of Detritus is still in disarray following Superiority treachery, and no word has come from Spensa, on her mission deep in the Nowhere, leaving Alanik, Jorgen, FM and Rig to pick up the pieces. So when the Kitsen send word from the planet Evershore, saying they have some humans and wish to return them, they have to decie if the strange message can be trusted . . . A gripping collection of novellas, told from the perspectives of three different characters, these superb adventures are essential Skyward reading!

"“Skyward Flight” is a collection of 3 novellas (“Sunreach”, “Redawn”, and “Evershore”) in the Skyward series. I read it after reading the other 3 books that are currently published (book 4 releases in November 2023). Since I read all three together, I’m going to review them all at the same time.<br/><br/>Sunreach<br/>This is FM’s story, and the shortest of the three novellas. Possibly my favorite. Don’t squeeze the slugs!<br/><br/>Redawn<br/>Alanik’s story, and incredibly interesting. This one started dragging a bit towards the end of the first half, but it soon picked back up and was absolutely marvelous.<br/><br/>Evershore<br/>Jorgen’s story, and kind of heartbreaking. The longest of the three, but I read it all in one go. We really get an inside look at his struggle between what’s right and what follows the rules, and it just makes you like him even more by the end of things.<br/><br/>All three of these novellas take place sequentially, starting shortly after Spensa leaves for Starsight. With such short, info-packed stories, it’s hard to really ‘review’ them without giving away everything that happens, but they were such a delight to read! Sanderson has a fantastic way of making you feel like you’re actually there without losing you in all the little details. I would definitely suggest reading these *after* you finish “Cytonic.”"
