Evershore (Skyward, #3.1)
Brandon Sanderson
From #1 bestselling author Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson comes the final of three Skyward series novellas, each told from the perspective of a different member of the team back on Detritus. Listen to Jorgen’s story along with Cytonic. With the government of Detritus in disarray because of Superiority treachery, and with Spensa still away on her mission in the Nowhere, Jorgen must work together with the alien Alanik to pick up the pieces. They intercept a strange transmission from the planet Evershore and its Kitsen inhabitants, who say they have some of Jorgen’s people and want to return them—but can the Kitsen be trusted? And can Jorgen learn to master his increasingly erratic cytonic powers before they spiral out of control and destroy all hope of forming an alliance against the Superiority?

Stars, I loved this novella - and all the other Cytoverse novellas - so much.
Getting new PoVs in this universe was fantastic, and the sheer emotion of each character was brilliant. I really want to read Janci’s other work now - so much more character depth and emotional moments than Brandon’s solo work. And that’s not to mention all the humour, the crazy plot turns and more details about the wider universe. I really hope they do more of these!
I connected to this one in particular, mostly due to Jorgen’s PoV - who’d have thought Jerkface was so relatable? I did feel like there was more things that needed to be addressed by the plots end, just given the amount of major developments that happened, but at least we know Defiant is coming. This novella could honestly be 200 pages longer and I would have no issue.
Frankly, I think I prefer just one of these novellas to Cytonic, but that’s me!
