Cytonic: The Third Skyward Novel

Product Information

Some of the scenes that take place in it were some of my favorite in the series. Which is saying a lot, considering how much I loved Skyward. But with the little tie-ins and allusions to it, it's hardly a surprise. 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.

When a delver and a non-delver's minds meet, there's a level of mental "pollution"; the other person will begin to perceive the noise of the world at large as unpleasant, and feel hatred towards other living beings, along with a distinct sense of megalomania. The person's mind also appears to expand, as though they can perceive the entire universe all at once. Such thoughts vanish within several moments. [12] The effect is amplified when the person touches the delver's mind directly. [11] Cytonic is the third book in a very ambitious series written by a master storyteller at the height of his craft. It just all seems so effortless, the way it all comes together.

Doomslug: Spensa's pet alien slug who was revealed to be a source of faster-than-light travel and a fellow cytonic. What's the purpose of emotions if so often we have to deliberately act counter to what they're telling us?"

I will need a hot second to process everything that happen, especially those info dumps we got, but I am excited to just reminisce about it. I know I keep saying this, but there is so much world building that it interrupts my reading slightly...all these new aliens, and I forgot which was which! (Maybe that’s just my sleep deprived brain though...) 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. Spensa: brave and determined, I love her so much! (And I just googled how tall she is...and she’s TINY! No wonder she thinks Jorgen’s so tall...she’s barely 5 foot!)of course, we have Winzik, Brade, and the Superiority to deal with. But with new allies, and new skills, anything is possible. Ugh, and If ...I never hear winzik's “my, my” again, I’ll be happy.
