At age eight, David watched as his father was killed by an Epic, a human with superhuman powers. I loved the plot twists at the end.About the Book The author of the #1 "New York Times"-bestselling Mistborn trilogy begins a new series. The superheroes are actually the bad guys. Is aw it going in a different direction as there was a superhero aspect being introduced but it is neat that he changed he way the superheroes are viewed. The Plot – Was captivating from the beginning. Epics have powers and are ruling the world by them. There is now the presence of these Epics that have turned the world into the dystopia. The World – It’s quite interesting set up as it is like our world now but not. I hope that as I read the sequel Firefight that we get a little more insight into the characters.

I believe I read in the book that they don’t share much about their personal lives because if one of them gets caught the don’t want to know too much about them which is smart in a way. You don’t really get much back story on the others. I didn’t really like how set he was on revenge or how he was with Megan but he was a good main character. The Characters – David was a great protagonist with awful metaphors. I could visualize the world and imagine what the characters looked like just based on their description. Even the tone of the characters was spot on. Everything was so vivid and flowed so well.

The Writing – As stated above, this was my first novel by him so I had high expectations and I am glad that I wasn’t disappointed. Review: This was my first Brandon Sanderson book I’ve read and I was so excited to start it! I really wanted to start out wit the Mistborn series but am happy to be reading this, nonetheless. For years, like the Reckoners, David’s been studying, and planning - and he has something they need. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them.Īnd David wants in. Nobody fights the Epics…nobody but the Reckoners. And to rule man you must crush his wills. The awed public started calling them Epics. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers.
