Return to the planet Detritus with FM, Alanik, and Jorgen in this must-have three-novella collection featuring exclusive character art and deleted scenes from Skyward with commentary from Brandon Sanderson. Journey with Skyward Flight to Detritus--humanity's final refuge from the hostile Galactic Superiority government. In Skyward, Spensa Nightshade became a starfighter pilot in the Defiant Defense Force's Skyward Flight to battle Superiority forces. In Starsight she impersonated the alien Alanik to infiltrate a Superiority space station and steal their hyperdrives. And in Cytonic she traveled the strange dimension of the Nowhere to discover the secrets of the planet-destroying Delvers and unlock her own Cytonic powers. As she is stuck in the Nowhere, Spensa's companions FM and Jorgen in Skyward Flight are left on Detritus with a new mandate: figure out how to use the hyperdrives so that humanity can escape the planet and find allies among other species oppressed by the Superiority. First comes a distress call from Minister Cuna and other diones on the abandoned outpost of Sunreach. Alanik's people on the planet ReDawn and the Kitsen from the planet Evershore also need Skyward Flight's aid in their desperate battles. The tales of FM, Alanik, and Jorgen combine to expand the universe of the New York Times bestselling Skyward series to new action-packed heights. Once you've claimed the stars, can you keep them free?

I absolutely loved these three “short” stories set in the Skyward series world, told from the perspectives of FM, Jorgen, and Alanik. Seeing the story unfold from their viewpoints was a real treat, and these tales significantly propel the overall narrative. They provide essential background on events happening outside of Spensa's main storyline, making them feel almost necessary to the plot. I highly recommend including them in your read of the Skyward series.
In fact, I found these stories more impactful than the third book, Cytonic, and I certainly enjoyed them more. I read the first two before Cytonic and the last one, Evershore, afterward, and this order felt seamless in terms of the main series' timeline. It didn't spoil anything and made sense in relation to Spensa's journey.
These stories deepened my love for the characters, especially FM and Jorgen, and the Taynix, propelling them even higher in my esteem. Each story stands out on its own, emotionally engaging and immensely enjoyable. I highly, highly recommend adding these to your Skyward series read—they are well worth it.
