Sanderson made it difficult for himself by writing Spensa's character to be so resistant and argumentative. It makes any character development feel unlikely. This book doesn't have the same appeal as the first one, mainly because by expanding the world out into the universe, Sanderson starts sounding like a multitude of other sci-fi writers, even while fighting hard for originality. The story is still engaging and enjoyable, though.
Age range: 11-16
This series is on the lighter end of Sanderson works, but still may be a little advanced for younger readers. Adult readers may struggle to get invested in the characters.
