It‘s the year of Brandon Sanderson for me😅 this is technically a reread but loved the writing and storyline. David enlists The Reckoners to help him dispatch Steelheart, the Epic who took over Chicago and remade it with night and steel.

YA. Male point of view; fantasy. This story reminded me of Marvel or DC comics and had lots of action. I had difficulty enjoying the story because it was, for me, predictable. Those looking to read fantasy without romance might find this a good choice.

It took me a while to get into this book, partially because the main character is kind of an oddball. But as I kept reading, there was some very interesting plot twists and now I can't wait to read the next one and see where it goes!

This book is sooo well written. One of my favourite quotes from it is “Never throw the first punch. If you have to throw the second, try to make sure they don‘t get up for a third.” It is just such a powerful quote, and the rest of the book is so exiting! It hooks you so quickly. I really recommend it.

MrsBabki You have impressed me in a BIG way with this series! Love it! 3y

This book was amazing! It has so much action and excitement! If you like super villains and cool powers, than you should read this book.

Steelheart | Brandon Sanderson

This is a great book! I really like it, because it has so much action, people have really cool powers, and it has some humour. Books with super heroes and super villains are my favourite purely because I like to see what different author‘s think of heroes and villains and the ability‘s that they give each character and I am excited to see what other villains the Reckoners encounter!

This book was so fun and fast paced I knocked the whole thing out in about 3 days, and that‘s with mom duties. The lead character is kind of a dork, has a hilariously difficult time with metaphors, and desperately wants to join an elite group called the Reckoners so he can avenge his father‘s death. Set in the near future in a Chicago filled to the brim with super powered people, Steelheart is a thrill and I look forward to picking up the sequels.

Not my favorite Brandon Sanderson, yet worth the listening time! 🎧 It is about a world where super powers in people yet all that have them do evil things with the powers. How can normal good people fight against that?!

I don't usually do TBR piles, but I decided to try my hand at the OWLs this year. As I am kind of new to this, I made a pile for all the prompts. I figure it will set me up for the NEWTs and I can take it from there... pointers appreciated. Newbie here!

Super heroes exist, but they‘re not here to protect but subject us. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and only a few have the will to fight back.

I really liked this book. It was such an interesting and exciting story. However the main character‘s obsession (fascination?) with Meghan was a little uncomfortable. And for some reason rename Chicago “newcago” felt weird. 😂🤷‍♀️

Books & book sales make me so happy.
Finding a new-to-me author: game, set, match.
Brandon Sanderson might be an author I just HAVE to buy. You know, they come out with a new book, and it doesn't even matter what it's about, you just know it's going to be good and you just need to buy it.
STEELHEART was only $8 on Amazon (hardcover) and I just couldn't withstand it anymore. I don't regret buying it.

This book is one of the best I have read!! It started with a bang and kept getting better from their. Each character was awesome. Even if they weren't the main character, they kept my interest. Long after I finished the book I couldn't stop thinking about it.

This book was my first Sanderson. His father gave me a signed copy when it first came out and, at first, I was skeptical. I admit that I started reading it just to be polite (this isn‘t really my genre normally). I was instantly pulled in. I have read it twice since then—most recently earlier this week. Brandon is a master of his craft. Loved this book!

Mr. Sanderson is the king of plot! This was a fun one. Not my favorite Sanderson, but still really enjoyed it. Especially that ending! Lots of action, cool take on superheroes, likable geeky characters, and just the right amount of humor. Ready for the next book.

I didn't expect this book to be anything other than incredible coming from Brandon Sanderson but I was honestly surprised at how much I loved it. I'm not real into superheroes and such but I just was so hooked as soon as I started reading Steelheart! Sanderson knows how to tell an incredible story

Such a great book, loved the characters, especially Cody, he cracks me up. Oh and I absolutely love the terrible metaphors David comes up with!!

This book and the other 2 in the series were in one of my kindle deals emails for only $2.99 each! I read a sample first and I was so hooked so I grabbed up all 3. I mean its by Brandon Sanderson.. did I really think it wouldn't be spectacular? Lol

I finally broke down and bought myself a Kindle Paperwhite 10. I was so tired of trying to read on my old Kindle Fire, it was just terrible. I recommend one of these to anyone looking for a new reader!

jpmcwisemorgan I bought the series too because it was cheap and I fell for the buy $20 in ebooks and you‘ll get $5 offer I received from Amazon last month. 6y
mutlee I also picked up the series on sale and was thinking of starting it tonight. 6y
InBooksILive @mutlee I haven't been able to stop reading the first book since I bought it! 6y

Absolutely loved this book! Couldn‘t put it down! I personally am a huge Brandon Sanderson fan anyhow but this book was a new and fresh concept compared to his normal writings. It had me on the edge of my seat multiple times, laughing at others, and even crying at one point! Wonderfully written and so engaging!

The book is a dystopian novel that questioned the reality of people owning superpowers. This is the first part of a trilogy, that I admittedly haven‘t read the other books, but the first book as a stand-alone is a great sci-fi book with only the ending to rely on the second book. If you like interesting concepts of superpower and technology, with really solid plot twist, I totally recommend this book!

The thing about Sanderson‘s books is that I never know what I‘m going to get, but I‘m never disappointed. He decides he‘s going to write a book about people with extraordinary abilities, we assume we‘re getting a wash rinse repeat super hero book. Instead we get a wildly different experience where “sometimes the heroes just need some help”. I spent a lot of the book laughing at the horrible metaphors. It is truly an art!

This is the first book I've read by Brandon Sanderson, and all I can say is, "More please." ? Steelheart pulled me in and wouldn't let me go until I reached the end. Then I went and downloaded the sequel because I'm dying to find out what happens next. ?
