Publisher's summary

Brandon Sanderson, the number one New York Times best-selling author of Words of Radiance, co-author of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series, and creator of the internationally best-selling Mistborn Trilogy, presents the second book in the Reckoners series: Firefight, the sequel to the #1 best seller Steelheart. Newcago is free. They told David it was impossible, that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet Steelheart - invincible, immortal, unconquerable - is dead. And he died by David's hand.

Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life simpler. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Big ones. And no one in Newcago can give him answers.

Babylon Restored, the city formerly known as the borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic Regalia, Babylon Restored is flooded and miserable, but David is sure it's the path that will lead him to what he needs to find. Entering a city oppressed by a High Epic despot is risky, but David's willing to take the gamble. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in David's heart. A hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. Somehow, he filled that hole with another Epic - Firefight. And now he will go on a quest darker and even more dangerous than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers.

Sparks! Another Awesome story by Sanderson!

I am not big on listening to YA books; however, I absolutely loved this series! This book has a lot of great elements - mystery, action, villains, super heroes and even love. Tie that in with M. Andrews amazing narrating skills and you're in audio book heaven!

Masterful word sculpture

There was a lot of development and the progression was fantastic. There is just one thing I would have changed but I can live with the way the story is. Sanderson can do things with words that manipulate your brain to do things that seem epic (see what I did there).

Well thought out super hero plot!

Most writers, when they tackle this type of genre, imagine it gives carte Blanche to throw logic out the window. This story acknowledges that troupe, while working hard to build a clear internal logic that elevates the story from cliche to creative!! Excellent and surprising adventure!

Outstanding

Great story and performance once started I couldn't stop listening, completing the book nonstop which I have never done before. Once you think the story is predictable the plot twist captivates you and keeps you guessing.

A very entertaining story

Not quite on the level of the stormlight archive or mistborn. But still a nicely built interesting world with some great characters.
