About this listen
Spensa's life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary.
She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell—the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. What's more, she travelled light-years from home as a spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home. Now, the Superiority—the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life—has started a galaxy-wide war. And Spensa has seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Ancient, mysterious alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant.
Spensa knows that no matter how many pilots the DDF has, there is no defeating this predator.
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. The only way she can discover what she really is, though, is to leave behind all she knows and enter the Nowhere. A place from which few ever return.
To have courage means facing fear. And this mission is terrifying.

Original
As with all Mr. Sandersons books, the character grows in unexpected ways and the villains are not what they initially seemed. A lot of fun to read.

Wonderful 3rd piece
This is the 3rd installment of the series. Out of 4 planned. It has both great growth ot the characters and a lot of progress in our understanding of the world.
Do notice that there are 2 productions of the series one in us English and one in uk English. This is the uk one.

Only Brandon Sanderson Could Do This
Just when you think you are settling into a series with bravery and reckless adventure, heroes, heroines and crazy AI's (sorry M-Bot) you find yourself wrong footed and thrown into a visionary new and challenging world.
The reach to the Somewhere is stretched almost to breaking point and we see bravery shown in a lot of different ways. Spensa learns that the courage she thought was the way of her world, is only one of many paths she can choose and she is faced with choices that will change many lives. There are surprises and there is adventure and, at the end, we see hope and the biggest fight for the peoples ready to face the Superiority.

spectacular space adventure
Just when you think that the wonderful series can't push the ideas more, Sanderson dazzles us with imaginative and satisfying turns. Great new characters and spectacular character development in this exciting space adventure. A bit like empire strikes back in some ways, but I'm sure the payoff will be stunning. Now the wait for the last book begins.

A bit drawn out but great
Lots of dialogue with some action sprinkled throughout. Recommended if you love the characters.

disappointing third novel
this installation feels more like a litrpg than the other books so far. Kind of let down and that it feels more like the author is dragging it out

Pointless story, filler or just a children's book?
First book was great, 2nd was ok, but this 3rd book is a waste of time. I am very disappointed.

Overwritten story that felt like a marathon to get through.
Book 1 was good, 2 was ok and this was a complete mess. Utterly painful slog just to finish it, thankfully I’m done.
