Requiem1106

Something I always found weird about this series was how little explanation I was given to how anyone looked, which was fine until we included more alien species. I reread everything before Defiant and still forgot what a tenasi was supposed to be. I loved the underdog sports story of Skyward, so I'm very thankful to Janci for continuing that for us in the novellas, and I think because of that we get the cool climactic battle where Skyward flight is respected enough to win without the main character's intervention. I'm very interested to see what she does with Legacy. Despite being Brandon's characters and story I couldn't help thinking of the Skyward flight scenes in Defiant as cameos of Janci's characters. I absolutely love what she did with Jorgen (and the rest of the crew). All that said, it was a very fun conclusion! Luna, hyperjump fisticuffs, and Gran-Gran's Last Stand were a blast. M-Bot I couldn't get enough of. The taynix and delver developments I felt intrigued for at every step. It's a YA series, I didn't expect to be overwhelmingly surprised, I expected to enjoy the journey, and I did! If I meet a budding sci-fi YA, I'd recommend it to them. Oh yeah, biggest surprise of the book: Jorgen and Spensa's date. Sanderson wrote that!?
