For me, just this worldbuilding wouldn’t have been enough. This book reveals not just a more expansive universe, but also a historical aspect that’s really intriguing. Worldbuilding: This is what sets this book above others. Given the worldbuilding, there is a lot of dialogue-based exposition, but it’s spaced out in a manner that keeps the pace moving. Given how much I read in that universe before this book came out (see my previous reviews on Sunreach and ReDawn), I think I just kind of mentally skimmed over it. These characters are why the series is so strong, but it’s not what make the book special.Įxposition: For a third book in a series, this book doesn’t have the inordinate amount of exposition one would expect. We meet other characters who are equally charming. It’s one of those horrific moments where you realize what’s about to happen, but you’re helpless to do anything about it. There is one particular scene in this book that down-right forced a tear (just one mind you) from my eye. This book takes their relationship with readers to a new level. Spensa must travel a path that will help her unlock her powers, but each step forward brings her closer to the Delvers she’s trying to defeat.Ĭharacter: Spensa and M-Bot have always been a cute duo. It’s a strange place composed of various fragments from various planets. Spoiler free summary: In Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson, Spensa is trapped in the Nowhere, which, as it turns out, is somewhere.
