It’s been a while since I’ve posted about a recent read. So I had to go back and read this one after finishing Brandon Sanderson short story Mitosis (Read my review here). I didn’t realise at the time that it was a story between two books but I enjoyed it enough to give the series a go. I’d already read his Mistborne series and really enjoyed it. I wasn’t disappointed in this first book either. I enjoy his world building and learn a lot about it through his book (I went back many times and had a look at how he crafts it). This book is a story of superheroes but not as you know them. Brandon seemed to transfer his use of magic building to great use when building a superhero system. I’m looking forward to getting into the 2nd book. Read on below to the book description or get a copy for yourself through the affiliate link below. BOOK DESCRIPTION The first book in a new, action-packed thrill ride of a series, from the number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Mistborn Trilogy and The Way of Kings. Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his wills. Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them. And David wants in. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father. For years, like the Reckoners, David's been studying and planning - and he has something they need. Not an object but an experience. He's seen Steelheart bleed. And he wants revenge.
