Publisher's summary

From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Mistborn Trilogy, Brandon Sanderson, comes the first book in a new, action-packed thrill ride of a series - Steelheart. Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics.

But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his will.

Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them.

And David wants in. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father. For years, like the Reckoners, David's been studying, and planning - and he has something they need. Not an object, but an experience.

He's seen Steelheart bleed.

And he wants revenge.

Not as engaging as Way Of Kings ( where is the rest of Way Of Kings!?) But an excellent read overall- look forward to the next installment.

Gets amazing! Wow! I was completely taken a back. This isn't my genre of book but figured what the heck. First audio book I finished. Even the narrator did an amazing job!

Sanderson’s world building continues to awe!

I’ve been a fan of Brandon Sanderson and his style of writing from the first time I read on of his books. Staying true to his style, Brandon artfully builds a new world full of captivating characters, intriguing powers/magics, and clear yet complex plots.

Steelheart is a fresh addition to B.S.’s Cosmere concept and a must-read for those who follow his works. I, mused, am not typically interested in stories related to the ‘superhero’ archetype, however, I gave this book a chance and it didn’t let me down. I have no idea if Brandon reads these reviews or not, but if he does, thanks for another great story! I’m looking forward to further iterations!

Great book!

I'm listening to this series as my kids (11 and 13) read the books. We're all enjoying them very much.
