Overview
Blast off with the first three novels in Brandon Sanderson's New York Times bestselling Skyward series, collected together in one paperback set. Spensa Nightshade has always dreamed of becoming a pilot, but her world has been under siege for decades and her father's disgrace has left her fighting for every chance she gets. Skyward, Starsight, and Cytonic follow Spensa from the cockpit of a scrapyard fighter to the far edges of known space, as she uncovers secrets that could change everything humanity believes about the war, the enemy, and herself. It's a fast, emotional, star-spanning ride.
About the Books
This collection brings together the opening trilogy of Brandon Sanderson's acclaimed Skyward series, following Spensa Nightshade as she claws her way from washed-out cadet to the pilot who reshapes the course of a war. In Skyward, Spensa trains in a rickety, half-broken ship while rumors about her father's supposed cowardice follow her every move; an accidental find in a forgotten cavern gives her a shot at proving them all wrong. Starsight raises the stakes dramatically as Spensa infiltrates enemy territory and discovers that the truths she's been taught about humanity, the Krell, and the stars themselves are far more complicated than she ever imagined. By Cytonic, Spensa has flown beyond the boundaries of known space into the Nowhere, a shifting, reality-bending frontier where nothing can be trusted and every choice carries weight. Across all three books, Sanderson blends high-velocity aerial combat with a deeply personal coming-of-age story, exploring themes of courage, grief, identity, and what it truly means to be a hero. Spensa is a fierce, funny, occasionally reckless narrator whose voice carries readers through battles, betrayals, and revelations that keep reshaping the stakes. Fans of expansive science fiction, tightly plotted mysteries, and character-driven adventure will find plenty to love here, and the trilogy's blend of humor and heart has made it one of Sanderson's most popular entry points for new readers. This paperback set is a great way to experience Spensa's journey from the very beginning through its most mind-bending turns.
