Skyward is Brandon Sanderson’s deepest foray into Science Fiction, featuring futuristic technologies, other alien species and planets and all the great elements that account for a top-quality science fiction read. Skyward is the first in a relatively new series for Sanderson (it came out in 2018) and is arguably his most science-fiction book to date. He has a hugely approachable way of writing often quite complex things and makes everybody understand his deep worlds very well.
