"There are things greater than the Epics, I thought. There is life and love, and nature herself.Steelheart strode toward me.Where there are villains, there will be heroes. My father’s voice. Just wait. They will come.Steelheart raised a glowing hand.Sometimes, son, you have to help the heroes along…...
I wouldn't make much of a supervillain. My weakness is chocolate. And quality whiskey. And a beautiful guitar. And a great novel. And.... this would make a long list of things to kill me with.Steelheart is the first book in the Reckoners series by Brandon Sanderson. David was only a child when the E...
I am surprised at how good this was. I was skeptical before I started reading it: when I looked at the tags, I was "eh? dystopian? MEH" since I wasn't in the mood for this genre. So I was going to read the sample only, and boy, I was hooked from the first chapter. What a way to introduce the main ch...
This book was a lot of fun to read, although it doesn't quite compare with Sanderson's Stormlight Archive books. This is very different from his epic fantasy, set in a version of our own world, after people began developing super-powers. Unfortunately, everyone with super powers became violent socio...
What a fantastic story, Sanderson is such a gifted and talented story teller. All his characters have such unique qualities about them, that just made them special, something that makes reading about their lives an epic journey. Even if that journey isn't so joyful. I love how this story had some se...
This review is also available on my blog, Bows & Bullets Reviews I've heard great things about Brandon Sanderson, but I've always been intimidated. I've found that I do enjoy fantasy but I'm extremely picky and very intimidated by them. This has always seemed like a good starting point because it'...
Sparks! Well this was fun and I have a new favorite curse word. This is certainly a series that is not for everyone, even I had a bit of trouble getting into it. There is heavy description on weaponry and war tactics. Boys will love this series for sure (I'm making my brother read it). David has b...
Pretty torn on how to rate this. I loved the premise (superhero nerd alert!) but the character's voice was too juvenile for his age and the story suffered for it, IMO. I thought the world building had a good frame work but since we stuck with David's POV we never saw much complexity in terms of sett...
If I were judging this book based purely off of the prologue it would be a perfect 5. Sanderson does an excellent job of setting up a vivid and interesting world where supervillians have emerged amidst the populace. The opening scene captured the comic book feel in a way no other book I've read has ...
When he was only eight David watched Steelheart, a human who gained powers after the appearance of Calamity, kill his father and turn much of Chicago into steel. Ten years later he is a young man who is focused on one thing, discovering Steelheart's weakness and together with the Reckoners, the only...
