Las relecturas son un tema de polémica frecuente entre los millones de lectores del mundo. Hay quienes apoyan la idea de que los libros no se deben releer porque nuestro tiempo de vida es muy corto, por lo que debemos aprovechar para brindarle la oportunidad a sinfín de obras desconocidas que pueden gustarnos mucho y enseñarnos sobre la vida en general. Esa filosofía podría describirse como «entre más, mejor». Por otra parte, están los que cada cierto tiempo releen sus historias favoritas; a veces son criticados, e incluso son catalogados como «intensos». Pero como en el fondo cada quien es libre de leer lo que quiera —de hecho lo realmente importante es precisamente leer—, entonces esas personas se defienden con frases como esta: « ¿por qué debería negarme el placer de disfrutar, nuevamente, de esta historia que me encanta?» Ambas posturas son comprensibles. Por una parte podemos observar a un grupo de lectores que siempre están sedientos de historias nuevas, y por el otro lado, a un grupo de lectores que viven en el romance de repetir indefinidamente aquello que los ha marcado de por vida. Unos adictos a lo nuevo, otros apegados al pasado. En mi opinión, lo más recomendable es olvidar el tema, restarle importancia a las «clasificaciones», dejar de catalogarnos, y vivir una lectura al límite pero con flexibilidad. Una vida lectora en la que a veces recurramos a nuestras raíces para recordar de dónde venimos, pero también en la que seamos capaces de salir de nuestra zona de confort y explorar un infinito mundo literario. En mi opinión, lo mejor es disfrutar de ambas facetas, experimentar, jugar con ellas, y evitar entrar en ese mundo de repetición y monotonía que resulta echando a perder muchas de nuestras aficiones; aficiones que hoy en día hemos olvidado para siempre. Cuna reveals that they think the delvers are watching the Superiority, so they need more pilots to defend themselves and the space station. I’m Brandon Sanderson, and I write stories of the fantastic: fantasy, science fiction, and thrillers. The first known appearance of a delver occurred during the second of the human wars. During that time, mankind built facilities on obscure planets as part of a weapons program hoping to summon and control a delver, with Detritus being one such base. [27] They have also built stations to train people in handling the delvers. [28] Though their attempts were successful, the beings proved impossible to control, and in some cases, the cytoshields proved insufficient, leading to delvers destroying the very people who sought them out. [3] Analyst relations delivers on four key business impacts –awareness, insights, GTM and sales at a much lower cost than PR, which generally focuses on awareness and GTM.

Whilst not quite as awesome as Skyward, Starsight pushes the series into new and exciting directions. Analyst relations is a marathon, not a sprint. Building trust and effective relationships takes time but delivers long-term results on a slow-burner. You will rarely see results straight away and may hit speed bumps as you discover your product and positioning need work to impress these experts. However, with sustained interaction and quality analyst engagements, you can build an entire ecosystem of analysts to help you weather any storm.When a delver and a non-delver's minds meet, there's a level of mental "pollution"; the other person will begin to perceive the noise of the world at large as unpleasant, and feel hatred towards other living beings, along with a distinct sense of megalomania. The person's mind also appears to expand, as though they can perceive the entire universe all at once. Such thoughts vanish within several moments. [12] The effect is amplified when the person touches the delver's mind directly. [11] During a battle with the Krell a couple months after the Battle of Alta Second, a alien named Alanik, of the UrDail species, crashes on Detritus and gives Spensa the opportunity to take her place and spy on the Krell. [3] [4] Alanik was cytonic like Spensa, and imprinted the coordinates for a place called Starsight in her brain. [4] Spensa hyperjumps for the second time and finds herself at the center of bureaucracy for the Superiority, the alien organization that had kept humans imprisoned on Detritus for decades. [5] Captain Hesho: The former monarch of the kitsen aliens, who have converted to a democratic system to appease the Superiority. Hesho commands a ship of approximately fifty kitsen within the Superiority's piloting program. He is succeeded by Kauri after his death. Journalists are gatekeepers of the public. Thus, PR professionals focus on storytelling to help journalists inform their readers. They frame, spin and pitch your existing messaging to make it relevant and newsworthy. Loop in journalists alongside announcements, when you have something new to share. Journalists’ write-ups should be a balanced and neutral telling of your story that will impact your public brand perception.

Do I even need to mention that the worldbuilding was excellent and fascinating? This is Brandon Sanderson we're talking about. From the planet Detritus and its orbital platforms to the central seat of power of the universe, the scope of the worldbuilding increased substantially in this sequel. And from the deep and vast ocean of his imagination, Sanderson created and breathed life to a myriad of weird and wonderful alien races or beings that are well-conceived and well-executed. While they may appear strange in their form, physiology, culture and philosophy, I also somehow felt that they were quite believable. It's really hard for me to explain why without giving away details. This is one of those books that I cannot reveal anything about the plot, for even the book's synopsis did not say much. I enjoyed myself immensely going in as blind as I could be, so I hoped the same experience could be had for those who read this review.

She warns Spensa against trusting Starsight. Siento que al final ha sido una muy buena elección realizar esta relectura porque no me acordaba siquiera del 10% del argumento principal. Suelo hacer anotaciones para refrescar mi memoria en este tipo de casos, pero ni siquiera mis anotaciones me hubieran ayudado en esta ocasión. Realmente, fue una gran decisión realizar esta relectura. There is SO MUCH more worldbuilding (galaxybuilding?) in this book, and I ate it all up with a spoon because that is what I am ABOUT. Including some neat aliens - and btw, if anyone else listened to that Writing Excuses episode about worldbuilding gender roles and got worried about alien gender, don't be; the idea discussed on the podcast has been refined and made way more alien/less parallel to human genders and reproduction, and I actually quite liked it.Cuna talks to Spensa about humans and their history, and Cuna tells Spensa that humans aren’t a real threat. Cuna wants Spensa to spy on Protective Services. Authors take note, this is how you write a book that will resonate with readers and stand the test of time. These days, I find the problem with a lot of YA is how canned it all feels, the way writers try so hard to conform to some pre-existing narrative which just makes the end result seem so sanctimonious and fake. And that’s why I’m such a huge fan of Brandon Sanderson, who has always ever only been interested in telling good, genuinely fun stories. There’s never an awkward social message shoehorned in or a romantic subplot not-so-unobtrusively shoved in your face, yet somehow his books always manage to be incredibly meaningful and filled with heartfelt connections anyway. AR is at its best when enabling your business to lead a category. Utilising strategic market insights from industry analysts. Nurturing them into advocates can position your company as a segment leader. Ensuring product-market fit and manoeuvring around the competition.

It may be tempting to accept a PR agency’s offer to add AR on top of your PR retainer; yet analyst relations requires a specific skill set and a different set of relationships. AR can’t be a PR agency’s side hustle as very few have a dedicated AR team.

With buyers getting more volatile, it’s critical for technology providers to constantly evolve their offerings and adapt their messaging to market wants. Analysts excel at gleaning weak signals from 100,000s of tech-buyer conversations and are great sounding boards to ensure perfect market fit aligned to the current economic landscape. Use analyst inquiries and read their latest research to find out which products tech buyers are interested in, what capabilities will secure a deal and how to make your product stand out from the crowd. Bottom line: analysts are your insurance policy for your product strategy . Not that there’s anything wrong with humans. I find their frail, emotionally unstable, irrational natures quite endearing.”

The appearance of delver eyes is preceded and accompanied by a pleasant sound, akin to a thousand musical notes playing together in harmony; similar to the sound of FTL communications to cytonics. It grows louder the closer one is to seeing them. [8] [4] In physical space [ edit ] Brade and Spensa enter the delver membrane and Brade says she no longer wishes to train in the same repeating rooms. Brade successfully tests the superweapon. Spensa finds out where the Detritus is.Like most readers who enjoyed Skyward, I would have loved more of Spensa with Jorgen, Cobb, and the rest of her crew. I will not deny that. However, Starsight did wonderfully develop Spensa’s and M-Bot’s characterizations and developments by having them meet a new set of characters. The setting in Starsight felt more vibrant and lively. And yes, the interaction between Spensa and M-Bot was one of my favorite parts about Starsight. Plus, it’s not like the new characters were ever uninteresting. For example, Hesho is precious, funny, and entertaining. Every time he spouted out his poetry and badass lines with his relatively small and adorable physical features, I could not help but smile. I do not think Starsight would’ve been this fun to read if the story, once again, took place only in Detritus with the same set of characters. Sanderson has to progress and expand the series, and in Starsight, we learn so much more about the universe, the Krells, and plenty of new alien races.
