What started in the instant #1 New York Times bestseller Steelheart and continued in the instant #1 New York Times bestseller Firefight now concludes in Calamity.
Steelheart book 3 series#
Though considering the title of the third one I think we’ll get most of that in that book.“ From the bestselling author of the Mistborn series and Words of Radiance comes Calamity, the final book in the New York Times bestselling Reckoners series. I want to see more of this world than what we got in this book, and I would love to find out more about Calamity. I have been promised that Firefight is a lot better than Steelheart so we shall see. Having said that all, I am curious to see what will happen now after the events of the ending. They did have some bonding moments nearing the end, but mostly because they were forced together or because he forced it. He was impressed by her, I get that, but I wish he had moved away from that and had seen her as a person instead moving right into crushing mode. Then there was the instalove from David’s side as mentioned. On the other hand I do wonder why he was able to see some things that adults or other Epics had missed. Which was a shame because his intelligence certainly wasn’t lacking. I needed a bit more than just his revenge, being a fan of The Reckoners and his clear crush on a girl. However in this case David felt boring and bland to me. I’m not drawn to revenge plots but I can enjoy them a lot if I like the characters. Some things did start falling together.īut my main problem was with our main character, David.
However the last quarter of the book was a lot better. And the other Epic was a bit obvious too. I could guess who Firefight was halfway because of that one thing. And quite honestly not that subtle with some hints towards plot twists. But I was expecting more of this dystopian world. Maybe this is the downfall of hyped authors once more that create such expectations. I didn’t hate it as can be seen from the 3 star rating but there was so little that impressed me. Though I knew this was about people that had super powers I’m not sure this is entirely what I was expecting when I dove into this book. But to exact revenge in Steelheart’s world, David will need the Reckoners-a shadowy group of rebels bent on maintaining justice.Īnd it turns out that the Reckoners might just need David too. If everything you ever loved was taken from you?ĭavid Charleston will go to any lengths to stop Steelheart. How far would you go for revenge if someone killed your father?
