It seems like this book could share a surprisingly detailed writing prompt with Skyward.

"A teenager has grown up on a non-Earth planet, with starvation a constant threat. Their father was executed by an authoritarian regime when the hero was young; since then they've provided for their family by working a dangerous occupation underground. Now, they have a chance to attend an elite school and prove themselves, and maybe - JUST MAYBE - bring a measure of peace and justice to their clan."
