Something strange happened on Earth ten years ago, giving ordinary men and women superpowers, but somehow everyone who has these powers is a power-hungry maniac.
#Steelheart tv tropes series
The Reckoners series puts a really interesting spin on the superhero trope, which is what made me read this book before any of the other review copies I got this past week. And then one of the wonderful people who work at Random House handed Steelheart to me. I knew Brandon Sanderson was a great guy, and a great writer but at that point I hadn’t actually read any of his books yet. I had opted not to face what was sure to be an insane autograph line to get Steelheart earlier in the convention, and hadn’t really given it much thought. Thoughts: I got this book by chance, standing in my very last lineup of BEA at the end of the third day. 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. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. The awed public started calling them Epics.īut Epics are no friend of man. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. Rating: 4.5/5 – Well, looks like I’ll have to read more Brandon Sanderson books now.Ībout the book: Ten years ago, Calamity came.
