Cytonic / Brandon Sanderson.

Sanderson, Brandon, (author.).

Summary:

Fighter pilot Spensa Nightshade has been embroiled in an alien empire's war and now, to figure out what she really is, she must leave her world behind to enter the Nowhere, a mysterious realm from which those who enter rarely ever return.
As a Defiant Defense Force pilot, Spensa has proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus, and traveled light-years as an undercover spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home. Now, the Superiority-- the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life-- has started a galaxy-wide war. They plan to use an ancient alien force that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant. There is no hope... except that Spensa is Cytonic. If she is able to figure out what she is, she could save the galaxy. -- adapted from jacket

Cytonic

Kirkus Reviews
Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.

The third episode in the Skyward series sees red-hot space pilot Spensa Nightshade coming into her full powers as she battles both pirates and space monsters in a strange interdimensional nowhere. Leaving her ongoing feud with evil galactic overlords on temporary hold back in the somewhere, Spensa passes through a portal to a realm where time and memories tend to slip away, bits of landscape randomly snipped from reality float like islands around a distant sunburst--and teeming hordes of disembodied, malevolent entities called delvers are relentlessly hunting her down. Fun as all the space-opera elements are, though, they continue a trend from the preceding volume in deadening the efforts of Spensa and sidekicks old and new to establish personal identities or backstories, wrestle with inner demons, or, in the case of the AI M-Bot, practice insults and deal with newly discovered emotions. A few wild aerial dogfights and larger battles later, however, Spensa has come into her cytonic superpowers, found out some crucial things about the delvers, and made her way back to the somewhere. Now for those overlords….McSweeney contributes a map, lovingly detailed sets of spaceship plans, and galleries of the multispecies cast members. Wild diversity of intergalactic body types notwithstanding, human members seem uniformly White. More terrific combat scenes, but a bit too heavy on character development to fly at speed.
