Review of 'Steelheart 2 - Firefight' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
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 humour. 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.
