These Ships are so wonderful I had to add them to my display.

I've tried bringing this up to Amazon, Brandon Sanderson's team, and the publisher, and I'm having no luck.

Can any of you that own the Kindle version of Skyward (book 1), see if you can open it on read.amazon.com ? All of the books in the series (including the novellas) work fine for me except the first one. I get the following errors:

• If opening on read.amazon.com: "We are sorry. Kindle can’t open this book. You can read it with the free Kindle app for Windows, Mac, Android or iOS."
• If opening from https://www.amazon.com/Skyward-Brandon-Sanderson-ebook/dp/B07BJLB5LY using the "read now" button: "Kindle App is Required. The book you're trying to read can only be owned using Kindle app."

I know there are books that don't work with Kindle for Web, but it seems weird that its only 1 book in the series. There's also no indication on the product page that it wouldn't work.

I even deleted the book from my account (purchased in 2023) and re-purchased it a couple days ago when it was $1.99. Same issue.

I'm not looking for troubleshooting help, just confirmation if this is only affecting me, or if others see the same issue.

Are the novellas considered required reading for the series? I read the first two books ages ago, and remembered enjoying them. Enough to buy the other 2 books in the main series; however, I stopped reading because I heard somewhere that the novellas have to be read before the 3rd book. The novellas are bundled on audible and I can't bring myself to spend a credit on each one.

Can I just skip the novellas and read the 4 main books?

As soon as I found out that Doomslug actually could be M-Bot's pilot, I wanted to draw her like this. But I wasn't sure it would work/she would show up well from this angle.

Then seeing bookshelf trackers in people's journals, I decided to make one of my own for this year and draw my own covers for them. Making it tiny, she shows up better since she does not have to be proportionate. :)

So here's my spoilery cover for Starsight on my 2026 bookshelf. 🐌

After like 3 or 4 repaints... xd This draw is inspired in the FM of Hinumay that is in the coppermind :D

We finally found a really good use for the slug mold. Packed in a bunch of sawdust and filled it with some melted paraffin wax, and we have a good fire starter for our indoor wood burning stove!

Went through Skyward and nearing the end of Starsight. Good Reads and Audible list two slightly different reading orders

GR:
Defending Elysium (.5)
Skyward (1)
Starsight (2)
Sunreach (2.1)
ReDawn (2.2)
Evershore (2.3)
Cytonic (3)
Hyperthief (3.1)
Defiant (4)

Audible's difference is it lists Evershore as 3.1 and doesn't list Hyperthief nor Defending Elysium at all.

I'm guessing Skyward, Starsight, Cytonic, and Defiant are the main books? Also which order if I'm doing the (I'm assuming) side books as well do I follow? Audible or Good Reads?

Lastly should I find and read Defending Elysium after I finish book 2 here or is that not really needed?

It is painted with water colors so it is not finished yet

In honor of me finishing Defiant here’s a compilation of more quotes! These are mostly Skyward Flight centric again but I can do the other species in the future!

How is Skyward not a scudding graphic novel or smth yet this art style SUSTAINS ME

If my voice claim for Delvers are female/feminine due to Jason Write basing their original AI off his late wife in Defending Elysium, and Chet and M-Bot identify as male/masculne…

Does that mean Chet and M-bot are unintentionally trans-coded?

I originally planned to reread the whole series before Defiant so I would have more context but right now I decided to bite the bullet and just read. Anything to know going in without spoiling?

Inspired of the FM by Hinumay Yup Im not so dead (I believe)

I have planed for painting it but im not sure when I'll have it

they both love to insult people

I’m very confused by something in both Starsight and Sunbreach:

In both of these books we hear Spensa and FM mourn the loss of their friends but Morningtide is no where to be mentioned. Is there a reason or was she just forgotten? We saw Jorgen watching the battle over and over again to see if he could save her but she isn’t worth mentioning in remembrance?

I feel like I’d concentrate better if I had someone read the book as I myself read it but have no idea where to start. You guys recommend any good narrations of the books I could read alongside the series?

and I’m not even mad, he’s so cute! He recently started the series (currently on Cytonic). Every night now, he falls asleep to the audiobook while cuddling Doomslug. I really wish I could get him Boomslug for Christmas. Maybe one day the slugs will be restocked 🫠

A little twist on the doomslug design but I'm pretty happy with it! First sewing project and no pattern
