Firefight (The Reckoners)

Review of 'Steelheart 2 - Firefight' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Sanderson is one of my favorite authors and he has yet to disappoint me. This is another great story featuring excellent characters with both fast-paced action and slow moments to ponder the mysteries of the world. Despite the fact that I usually don't enjoy straight up superhero stories, the Reckoners series is quickly becoming an excellent set of books to read. Maybe it's the fact the superhero story has been turned upside down, or the fact that Sanderson is such a good storyteller. Regardless, this is a series I'll certainly continue and I highly recommend you pick it up.

If you are craving a classic style action book, than this is the book for you!

Now, let me say, if you want a tragic novel that puts Game of Thrones to shame, than choose another book, because this book is intended to be fun and action-packed. Yes, I will admit that this novel has certain cheesy moments, but in my opinion, it actually added to the story. Picture classics like Jurassic Park and The Mummy; mixing comedy with action, and that is where this book sits.

Steelheart seamlessly mixes action and humour in a way that makes it read like a movie, and I must say, some of the past reviewers were complaining about flat characters, but I saw no such problem. Megan, on of the main characters, was constantly reminding me of Black Widow(Avengers), and the main character? He was a positive go-getter with a great sense of …

In fact, I saw all the characters clear as day, so I am not sure what the problem is for other people.

All in all, I thought it was a fun and thrilling read that deserves a spot on my bookshelf.

I am a big fan of Sanderson's work and I can say I am very pleased with this new book. While some of his books are sprawling epics that takes weeks to read, this is a small well-contained book that reads in a flash. It almost feels too short! As I understand, there will be a few more books in the series to flesh it out, but the story is perfectly fine on its own. The characters are interesting and unique, you feel like you would have a great time hanging out with them. The setting, like all of Sanderson's books, is clever and imaginative. I look forward to reading more books set in this universe.
