Calamity is the final book in the Reckoners series, where a portion of ordinary humans have been granted super powers after an event called Calamity. The problem is, the more these humans with powers (Epics) use their powers, they feel more hatred and become evil (Think Darkside/Darth Vader).   As a series as a whole, […]

**(Minor spoilers for the first book)** Firefight is the second book in “The Reckoners” trilogy by Brandon Sanderson, which is a young adult series. The series protagonist David, is a normal person, inhabiting a world in which Epics rule. Though David is normal and powerless, he still rises up to defy the Epics. Firefight continues […]

If you didn’t know, Firefight, the sequel to Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson came out this morning (6th Jan). If you like superheroes, then this is a great book that twists the genre on its head. Imagine a world where there are no superheroes and there are only supervillains. What would that world be like? If […]

Steelheart is a YA (young adult) book, built around the superhero concept. – If power corrupts, does absolute power corrupt absolutely? That’s the question Brandon Sanderson asks of you and me. Steelheart takes place in […]

    Someone reminded me how slack I was, so here is a short version. A couple of decent ones. I’ll promise to make a more in depth one for the following month! Steelheart by Sanderson is his THIRD book out this year, following A Memory of Light and The Rithmatist. The Rithmatist was a good […]
