A review by kindleandcrochet
Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson

4.0

This was such an emotional ride! David had so much to deal with as a kid and the Steelheart came along, i never did figure out how Davids father had hurt Steelheart i figured it was something to do with orotection instincts and boy was I wrong. I also never realised about Prof. That seemed particularly out of pocket for me. I never liked Megan, I guess I know why now but I really liked the other Reckoners, Tia was very motherly and Abraham was like a big brother and Cody was the humourous little brother... I have no clue how old the guys are but it's clearl prof and Tia are older.
I did think whilst reading, how would I explain this story to someone if they adked and it dawned on me that it reminds me of the premise of the tv show The Boys... But like from the peoples side, kinda like The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness, like what happens if you're not the chosen one 👀.

I definitely enjoyed it but I did find it dragged a bit, but i think a lot of that was Davids monologuing and his mooning over Megan. I liked how he essentially stalked and forced the meeting with the Reckoners, it was fun. And with his research it was really well thought out despite his naïvety over what would happen afterwards.
I really liked that Prof was a good Epic, doing exactly what Davids father said, I wonder if Megan will do the same now that she's been reborn.


I'm not sure how I feel about continuing with the series, I guess I'll think about it later.
