There is a disturbing scene at the beginning where humans are vaporized and terrorized by an Epic. Violence: Some of the Epics are ruthless.Sex: One kissing scene at the beginning of the book, but nothing inappropriate.You can find Daniel’s review of Steelheart here. I think this would be a great book for teenaged boys. I think I’ll probably read the print version of Firefight in because of this.
I didn’t love the audio version of this book, and I wonder if I would have overall liked the book more if I had read, versus listened, to it. The sequel, Firefight, is scheduled to be released in January 2015. I’m looking forward to seeing where Sanderson takes the Reckoner’s series in the future. The twist at the end was somewhat predictable. It took me a little while to get into this book, but by the end, I was anxious to see what was going to happen and couldn’t stop listening. Sanderson does a great job of creating characters with strong voices and individual personalities. These powerful people are called Epics and they reign over mankind with fear and horror. Though all super hero stories contain villains, many of whom have super powers themselves, in this story pretty much all of the supers/mutants are not heroes. Sanderson takes the superhero trope and flops it on its head in Steelheart.
He believes that with a little help from the Reckoners, they can kill the powerful, yet elusive Steelheart.
All Epics have some sort of weakness, but Epics go to great lengths to conceal them.ĭavid hopes to join with a band of assassins who kill Epics, called the Reckoners. But through this experience, he may be the only person with a clue as to what Steelheart’s weakness is. As a boy, David had a terrible experience with the most powerful Epic of all: Steelheart.
