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, […]

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 […]

It really doesn’t matter what you do with these kinds of lists, you can’t please everyone and that certainly isn’t our aim. A couple of readers thought our Worst list was terrible. One of them even though we were deliberately stirring the pot! Anyways, our Best list is massive…as it should be…hence our name! Take […]

Steelheart is the most enjoyable book I’ve read this year and it is Sanderson’s best stand alone book he has to date (Elantris, The Rithmatist, Warbreaker). That’s right I said it. Look, don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it’s Sanderson’s best book, the most intriguing, the best magic system or most unique. Simply, it […]

Steelheart is Brandon Sanderson’s newest book. Once again, it’s a good one. It’s different from what we’re used to though. 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 […]

I’m always excited when Brandon Sanderon produces something new, it never seems long before he has something out. Steelheart is perhaps not something every fantasy reader would pick up. Urban Fantasy at best, it is about superhumans called Epics who rule the world, yet they rule it with an iron fist. A small group of […]
Sharakhai, the great city of the desert, center of commerce and culture, has been ruled from time immemorial by twelve kings -- cruel, ruthless, powerful, and immortal. With their army of Silver Spears, their elite company of Blade Maidens and their holy defenders, the terrifying asirim, the Kings uphold their positions as undisputed, invincible lords of the desert. There is no hope of freedom for any under their rule.
Or so it seems, until Çeda, a brave young woman from the west end slums, defies the Kings' laws by going outside on the holy night of Beht Zha'ir. What she learns that night sets her on a path that winds through both the terrible truths of the Kings' mysterious history and the hidden riddles of her own heritage. Together, these secrets could finally break the iron grip of the Kings' power...if the nigh-omnipotent Kings don't find her first.
