Skyward

Recently I've only been reading on the commute to and from work. Normally too tired at night.

Started this yesterday and was completely reeled in, found it difficult too put down. One more paragraph turned to one more chapter, I don't remember falling asleep, I did wake up with a sore neck and the book still in my hand.

I got this on Kindle but still haven't read it, it looked like it could be Harry Potter in space, I'm not sure.

I'm not finding anything like Harry Potter.

@biodroid I'd be interested to know why you think it would be like Harry Potter in space?

We have a teenage girl who is desperate to become a pilot, defend her planet and clear her father's name.

There is opposition to her joining the cadets, the admiral fears she has a defect that could be a danger to humanity. Only the intervention of her father's wing mate gives her the chance to prove herself.

I read that there is training in the book, which points to Harry Potter style of story

There is pilot training, not sure It's a type I want to attend, some of it is in actual battle.
