This book has been incredibly difficult to review. I requested it from NetGalley because I am currently on a quest for an incredible Sci-Fi book with a girl as the protagonist. I saw this one and the plot seemed incredibly intriguing, I knew I had to read it. This means the amount you’re charged may not be an exact multiple of the monthly charges listed in the table below.

Conrad, once a High, is demoted after his uncle kills his father and assumes the role of Archduke. After his mother is killed, Conrad tries to reunite with Ella, the sister his uncle abducted, but Uncle demands that he first enter the Selection and rise through the ranks of one of the Twelve Trades. Chosen by Hunter, which is responsible for exterminating the menacing, steel-scaled gorgantauns, Conrad is soon taking part in the Gauntlet, a deadly contest between airships to see which crew can kill the most gorgantauns. But he won’t just have to battle sky serpents—Conrad also faces the ever-present threat of mutiny, a murder attempt, and shifting loyalties. Amid budding friendships, the crew unearths startling truths about their world, revealing a more profound conflict than Conrad envisioned. Gregson’s YA debut provides a skillful blend of action, suspense, and comic relief. After each airship battle, readers can barely draw breath before political intrigues turn the story on its head, but this is also a touching story of found family and personal growth. Most major characters read white; in this racially diverse world, one crew member has dark skin.

Having carefully considered Sky’s representations in response to the Notification issued under Section 96A of the Communications Act 2003 on 14 May 2021 (see below), Ofcom has concluded that where Sky’s pay TV services rely on digital satellite transmission, Sky provides a public electronic communications service to its customers. As such, Sky is a ‘regulated provider’ within the meaning of General Conditions C1.21 to C1.29 and it is obliged to send end-of-contract notifications to its customers of those pay TV services. For Sky Broadband and Talk products, the final amount is rounded up to the nearest 25p. How are early termination charges calculated? I would recommend this novel for sure, especially for those that enjoy science fiction novels. And for those that don’t, I mean, why not? Time to break out of the shell and experience new things, as I always say. But Cassiel was the exact type of heroine I expected her to be. I especially love the way that the story was vivid in detail and just made it come to life. An absolutely amazing book that deserves all the recognition it is getting, and I cannot wait for more people to have the opportunity to read it when it comes out next year. Trust me, you don't want to miss this! First comment: I hate the title. This book is much too bad-ass for such a lame-ass title. Seriously. "Sky's End" sounds too sappy.

The West End premiere of the new British musical Standing at the Sky's Edge has set its initial casting, with performances beginning at the Gillian Lynne Theatre on 8 February 2024. Ofcom have been investigating Sky's compliance with end of contract notifications since December 2020, almost a year after the regulation came into force. Whether you love or hate this book (and I have a feeling it will divide readers) is likely going to come down to your age. The book is written with all the colloquialisms and feel of a 2013 teenager mindset. Which will either make a reader feel like they can be that girl (e.g., a teen reader) or make the girl sound like a vapid, sex obsessed, foul mouthed valley girl on the way to the mall (older than a teen reader). E.g., main character Cass has typical exclamations such as: "ewww" or "I am so not going there" or "whatever" or "lame" or "I mean, come on. Control the Universe?"

Although the book has been published very recently, I'm sure that if people give it a chance, it would be one of the essential books of 2013. There is still no date for the second book in this series Sky's Surrender, but I cannot wait to read it.

Hailed as ‘the most exciting new British musical in years’ (WhatsOnStage), Standing at the Sky’s Edge was originally written as a love letter to Sheffield, charting the hopes and dreams of three generations over the course of six tumultuous decades, navigating universal themes of love, loss and survival. Pensé que estabas recibiendo tu botín", agrego mirando hacia él, sorprendida por el tono de mi voz. Ofcom considers end-of-contract notifications to be an important consumer protection tool to prompt consumers to shop around for the best deal for their needs. Therefore, we take compliance with the obligations to send end-of-contract notifications seriously. A thrilling YA fantasy debut, Sky’s End plummets readers into a kill-or-be-killed competition where a scrappy underdog hell-bent on revenge must claw his way to the top.

When Cassiel’s manipulated into a perilous mission, she encounters a warrior species bred to protect the universe from an even greater threat. And she learns that her secret visions are at the heart of it all. So the book...YA for sure, clear sides of good and bad with a few people who ride the line between or move from one side to the other. Characters weren't stagnant, they changed their attitudes throughout based on the plot development. You've got all the normal YA tropes, nothing too cliche, but what got me was the story. The whole time I was wondering what the monsters' motives were. Why do they destroy cities? And that was fully fleshed out by the end. The mechanics to fly a ship were unique, the roles in their class structure made sense, the character relationships were great, and the ending was an actual surprise. I always enjoy when an author decides no character can cheat death. There's no plot armor for anyone, but also the deaths made sense. And they were pretty gruesome. I feel like the pacing was perfect, action with consequences, deal with the aftermath, onto the next piece of action. From the first sentences on I was drawn into the story. This is probably due to the first-person perspective. Cassiel Winters is 21 years old and is faced with something that seems " to grow over her head"(as we Germans say).

Suitability

A pesar de que lo han sacado hace poco, estoy segura de que si la gente le da una oportunidad, será uno de los libros imprescindibles del 2013. Todavía no hay fecha para el segundo libro de esta serie Sky´s Surrender, pero no puedo esperar para leerlo. Because Sky+ and Sky Q rely on Sky's digital satellite transmission service to be delivered to consumers, Ofcom has concluded that Sky TV falls under the definition of an Electronic Communications Service (ECS) in this instance, and is therefore is obligated to implement the end of contract notifications.
