Story
When a planet-destroying Delver suddenly appears in the sky of Detritus and vanishes just as suddenly, FM knows that the last free human society got lucky. Her Skyward Flight companion, Spensa, figured out how to draw this Delver away, but it won’t be so easy next time. The forces of the Galactic Superiority will be back - and if the Defiant Defense Force can’t figure out a way to escape the planet, humanity’s destruction is only a matter of time.

Story
Spensa’s life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus, and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell - the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. What’s more, she traveled light-years from home as an undercover spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small planet home. Now, the Superiority - the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life - has started a galaxy-wide war.

When the great red star Calamity appeared in the sky, some believed the end had come. They were right. Calamity created the Epics: humans with incredible powers they didn't deserve. They could have saved mankind. They could have lifted us into harmony and prosperity. Instead they burned. They slaughtered. They conquered. And then they ruled. Jax has learned all of this the hard way. Orphaned at an early age, he's spent most of his childhood training to be a Reckoner - determined to find the Epics' weaknesses, unlock their secrets, and protect those of us who are still left.

The Tournament of the Sacred Sword sounded like exactly the type of thing Keras would enjoy: a series of challenges for thousands of contestants seeking a chance to fight for the Sacred Sword of Earth. He knew there would be challenges. It wouldn’t be a high-stakes tournament without a few high-profile assassinations and mysterious murders, after all. But Keras wasn’t ready to run into someone from his homeland, and he certainly wasn’t prepared for the revelations that came from their confrontation.

Publisher's Summary
From number one best-selling author Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson comes the second of three Skyward series novellas, each told from the perspective of a different member of the team back on Detritus. Listen to Alanik's story between Starsight and Cytonic.
“Don’t trust their lies. Don’t trust their false peace.” That is the warning that Alanik of the planet ReDawn gave the human pilot Spensa after Alanik’s ship crash-landed on Detritus. While accepting an invitation to meet with her people’s enemy, the Galactic Superiority, Alanik heard Spensa’s cry for help across the vastness of space, and she used her cytonic powers to hyperjump her ship to the source of that cry. What she found there was a shock - a whole planet of free humans fighting against the Superiority. Were they the allies her people desperately needed?
When she recovered from her injuries and met the friendly humans Jorgen and FM of Skyward Flight, she found that her warning to Spensa had gone unheeded by the government of Detritus, and they were considering a peace overture from the Superiority. Now having returned to ReDawn, Alanik is dismayed to learn that her own people are falling into the exact same trap.
The faction in ReDawn’s government that wants to appease the Superiority has gained the upper hand. With Alanik’s mentor, Renakin captured, she has no one to turn to but Jorgen, FM, and their friend Rig. An ancient technology may have the power to save both of their planets from disaster, but can they discover its secrets before it’s too late?

good stuff
Efficient compelling storytelling happens again here. "ReDawn" is fast paced with lots of tension moving things forward and the point of view of this character actually works pretty well and it feels like it adds to the story of the main human characters. It's not just dry padding, it is it's own worthwhile thing. The worldbuilding is handled well without pausing the action for a bunch of description. If you are reading the main series and enjoying it these novellas are just as good, even if they follow different characters.

Absolutely floored by the newest addition to the Skyward series. Action packed, world building, and absolutely essential to the overall story. I didn't believe I could be looking forward to the release of book 3, but after this, my anticipation is even higher.
Excellent narration as always.

Overpriced
Is it worth listening to? Sure. Is it worth a whole credit? Absolutely not. Sanderson and company stoop low to gouge money from listeners.
Considering how much credit Sanderson gives to his team at the end of his other books, it's galling that he barely thanks the actual author (Janci Patterson) and doesn't even clearly indicate that she was the writer.

Overall it's okay. I understand why Brandon is having someone else do these novellas. I feel like I need to listen to them to stay current on Brandon's work but I'm not a big fan of Janci Patterson writing style. if I find out these are not necessary reads/listens after cytonic comes out I will likely skip them in the future.

good read and excellent character development
when I read the original novels, I found this character so unique and really wanted to know more about her, so I was thrilled to find the novella series.
this was a great, action-packed tale that was a very quick read and enjoyable to listen to. I did struggle a bit with the narrator. don't get me wrong - Suzy Jackson is AMAZING and talented; however, because she mostly reads as the voice of Spensa in the original novels (which are much longer) and sometimes does so as Spensa impersonating this character, it made it difficult to transition into hearing her as just this character.
