Others: Overwhelmingly positiveALL HER LIFE, SPENSA'S DREAMED of becoming a pilot. Of proving she's a hero like her father. She made it to the sky, but the truths she learned about her father were crushing. The rumors of his cowardice are true--he deserted his flight during battle against the Krell. Worse, though, he turned against his team and attacked them. Spensa is sure that there's more to the story. And she's sure that whatever happened to her father in his starship could happen to her. When she made it outside the protective shell of her planet, she heard the stars--and it was terrifying. Everything Spensa has been taught about her world is a lie. But Spensa also discovered a few other things about herself--and she'll travel to the end of the galaxy to save humankind if she needs to. This description comes from the publisher. Starsight is the second book in the Skyward series, the first of which is Skyward.

Not a fanShe gets very caught up in descriptions and Never Fade just started out in a new place and I didn't really understand how we had gotten here. I just didn't enjoy it at all and decided that I wasn't invested in this series or these characters anymore and I just don't care to continue the series so that was the other book that I DNFed this year.
Loved itthis series is really cool because it's like this X-Men thing woo almost dropped them but it deals with these kids who have superpowers
Loved iti finished the darkest minds and the second book never fade i have not finished the third book
Loved itI really love never fade
Loved itI also loved the sequel Never Fade but of the two books I preferred The Darkest Minds although I did love both of them
Loved itI think Never Fade is my favorite out of the two only because the ending is really intense, but overall, it's a really great series and I would highly, highly, highly recommend reading it before the third one comes out because hopefully it's coming out next year.
