I imagine book 4 will recap some of these things to get Spensa up to speed, but fans who want all the details shouldn’t skip these books. People die, alliances are struck, and none of it is mentioned while Spensa is on her own adventure. They contain critical plot that absolutely affects the state of the galaxy and happens completely “off screen” in CYTONIC. (It’s become clear to me that novella 3, EVERSHORE, can likely be read before CYTONIC as well, but I’m reading in release order.) Here’s the thing about these novellas: they aren’t simply fun little stories to give fans more time with secondary characters. I held off on reviewing these two novellas because I wanted to see how they interacted with CYTONIC, particularly since they were released before that third book and are meant to be read before it. SUNREACH and REDAWN are two fun, adventurous novels that take place at the same time as the events in CYTONIC, book three of the SKYWARD saga.
