Huh. That was actually pretty good!! I have a weird relationship with marie lu books because her ideas are always so good but she doesnt really execute then well and does them in such a basic way. But even after only read these first few chapters, I know this one will be different.

What an awesome start! The sampler was great and I didn't want it to end. I'm really excited for this to come out..

So much emotions! I was very excited when I was downloading to my Kindle. I have not read anything by Marie Lu previously but her novels have generated a lot of buzz so this author has been on my radar for some time. What better way to start than to read the latest and greatest. Like many others, I was disappointed to find out that this was an extended excerpt and not the full novel. The disappointment grew by the end of the excerpt because the little that I read was so fantastically great!

I can see why Marie Lu’s books have been so popular. Her writing is so vivid and full of substance. I love how she paints these detailed scenes and environments in Newage. The amount of emotion in the few chapters that I read was mind-blowing. The emotional pain that Talin goes through is so heavy and only get heavier when she meets Corian’s family. I am captivated by this world that Marie Lu has crafted and I look forward to reading the full novel.

I absolutely loved this sampler! I cannot wait for the full book to be published. Marie Lu never dissapoints.

Kind of upset because no where in the title or description does it say this is only a sample of a few chapters, so I thought I was getting the entire book...

But it's a promising start. Release day can't come soon enough!

This sneak peek introduces us to Talin, a Striker who fights Ghosts inflicted on her home by the Federation. When Talin’s best friend and Shield is killed on her watch, she finds herself in disgrace and her place as a Striker in jeopardy.
I liked getting a glimpse into this story. This does a good job in letting us know Talin, her past and her character. I liked her a lot. I also loved getting in her emotions. As always, Lu has a great writing style. I just wish this sneak peek gave me a glimpse as to where the plot is going.

The extended sample ended on such a cliffhanger! I will admit, the writing didn't quite capture my attention till chapter 2 but now I need to know what is going to happen!

I didn't know this was a chapter sampler and now I can not wait to read more. Mari Lu's writing is so good and captivating. I will definitely read this book.

The extended excerpt for Skyhunter left me yearning for more! I absolutely loved the world building and plot set up. I already love Talin as the heroine. She exudes strength and courage. Excited to finish this one when it’s available.

So I wasn’t actually aware that this was a chapter sampler and not the whole book. However, from what I read I can already tell that Marie Lu’s writing has developed a lot since she wrote the Legend trilogy and I would definitely be interested in checking out the full book.
I don’t feel as though I can really rate this since it wasn’t the whole book so I’m going to set it as an even 3 stars.

Omggg, this is my first Marie Lu book, and reading this chapter sampler I cannot wait to read further.
It's so captivating and engaging.

Oh boy, I really wish this was the whole book and not just an excerpt from NetGalley. I can’t wait to read the whole book if it’s anything like the first chapter! So good!!

I don't feel totally qualified to review a book just based on the first couple of chapters, but I will try.
I really liked the fantasy development; already, there is a lot of detail and description characteristic of Lu. The battle scene was also incredibly detailed and easy to follow. Talin, the heroine, seems very likable and strong so far. I think it's an interesting twist that she can't talk.
I did think the major event of the first chapter was relatively predictable. I'm not sure if that was on purpose or not. Also, it started out pretty dang dark and depressing. Not my cup of tea, but hopefully there is more hope in the next few chapters.
Overall, I am definitely interested in finishing this book. It seems very well developed and engaging, if a little bit dark so far.

this was just a sampler but it left me really intrigued and marie lu is a favoruite of mine and her writing is so simple and straight to the point whilst also managing to be lyrical and enhancting, i can't wait to see how this book pans out!

full rtc when i finish the whole book

All this did was whet my appetite for the whole story!! I didn't realize this was just an extended excerpt. I think Marie Lu has another hit on her hands.

Full disclosure, before I begin this review, I have to admit, I thought I was getting the whole book. That being said, the first three chapters were so epic that my disappointment was only heightened by having to stop reading.

Marie Lu does it again with epic world building. In just three chapters, she established a fascinating world, dynamic characters, and a society filled to the brim with secrets and, I hope, conspiracies. I've been a fan of Marie Lu's writing since I read LEGEND in 2014 but I think SKYHUNTER has the potential to be her best book to date.

I also loved the use of sign-language representation in the story as well as her ability to describe the conversations that Talin has despite being unable to speak.

I am so eager to know more about this world and Talin's journey. I can't wait to keep reading when the book comes out.

Wow! This book is entrancing!

When I first read the description of the book I wasn't quite sold however, this book is amazing so far. This review is only on the first three chapters in the extended cut and I'm very disappointed that I have to wait for more!

Talin, a refuge on Mara, dreams to be part of an elite fighting force -The Strikers- but is cast an outsider because of her race. She practices day and night and becomes one of the best- not avoiding constant harassment and mockery from other unfriendly Strikers. Until one day a prisoner of war is taken by The Strikers and he seems to be something other than what he is allowing them to know and Talin picks up on this.

I felt excitement, curiosity, sorrow, anger and it wasn't overwhelming. Marie Lu does a fantastic job of making you feel a lot of emotion without over complicating her writing which is really enjoyable! The information in the first three chapters was informative but also let you see what was happening firsthand so you can learn through experience which is one of my favorite styles of writing. This book is now on my TBR list and I cannot wait until I can finish it!

I can't wait for this book to be released! Marie Lu is such a great author and this is sounds like it's going to be another awesome book. The cover looks amazing and the first 50 page preview makes me want to read it even more. Within just these 3 short chapters I was drawn to Talin and the action has already started. Love it!

Shkyhunter give me A Quiet Place vibes with creatures. It is action packed
Beginning was overwhelming with amount of exposition and characters but still interesting and entertaining.

Title - Skyhunter

Author - Marie Lu

Genre - YA Dystopia

I have have missed it when I had requested for this book that it was just an excerpt and this is my review on just the first three chapters of the book. As a fan of Marie Lu, there is nothing less than brilliance that had come out of this book and I'm pretty much excited about to get my hands on the complete book when it releases. The story of Talin who loses her striker in one of the Federation's attack keeps you hooked from the word go and I'm sure the entire book will not disappoint at all.
