I wasn't expecting to enjoy Skyward as much as I did, but I should have expected Brandon Sanderson wouldn't tone down any of what I love from his writing just because it's a Young Adult series (especially because I enjoyed his Alcatraz series so much, and that's targeted to an even younger demographic - even if that's the age I read it).
Some elements were predictable, but I very much enjoyed the development of all the characters, and was very quick to start book two after finishing this one!
