Very YA! Still Good!

I just completed Skyward by Brandon Sanderson. This was my first Sanderson and I wish it was not. Not that this was not good - it was. I like YA but this just felt more like middle grade. I did like the main character and felt she developed rather well. I loved Doomslug! The plot felt really familiar with the main character under the shadow of a disgraced parent and trying to prove their innocence and also dealing with the prejudice against her as a result. If 1/4 stars could be given this would be a 3.75 stars but I rounded it up to 4 stars. I do want to read more Brandon Sanderson but I was not so vested in this one to continue the series. I do recommend this to anyone who love lower YA fantasy.
