![]() It made this shopping day well worth the crowded mess in malls. Moving on-wait, wtf, huh, why is it out so-?!!?! Seriously though, thanks to Indigo for selling this book early. Paperbacks, hardcovers, Firefight, Moleskins. There were ordinary sales and satisfactory crowds. – Reminder notes throughout the text regarding concepts/magic systems from Steelheart. – While some minor characters are difficult to connect to, David’s progression of growth remains solid and can be easily rooted for (assuming you can stomach his bad metaphors). – Fast-paced read driven by continual action and atmospheric tension in exploring an unfamiliar landscape even while delving into Phaedrus’ and Firefight’s back story. ![]() Basically: more epics, more metaphors, more awesome. – The world-building is pretty darn creative-it beats the setting in Steelheart if I’m being honest-with plenty of imaginative detailing that continues to exude a cinematic feel. (It isn’t game changing to not have read it but it will help in understanding some references.) – I recommend reading the Mitosis novella before Firefight. (re: Goodreads Firefight by Brandon Sanderson ) Should this book be picked up? the tl dr spoiler-less review: And he’s willing to go on a quest darker, and more dangerous even, than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers. Somehow, he filled that hole with another Epic–Firefight. A hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. ![]() Because killing Steelheart left a hole in David’s heart. And while entering another city oppressed by a High Epic despot is a gamble, David’s willing to risk it. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic, Regalia, David is sure Babylon Restored will lead him to what he needs to find. And there’s no one in Newcago who can give him the answers he needs.īabylon Restored, the old borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. And he died by David’s hand.Įliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life more simple. Yet, Steelheart–invincible, immortal, unconquerable–is dead. They told David it was impossible–that even The Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Ĭontinue reading Calamity - Brandon Sanderson →īook Title: Firefight (The Reckoners Series, #02) Reality gave the middle finger to expectation, basically. – Holds a questionable ending to an explosive series that can be both positive and underwhelming Initial Thoughts – New Epics revealed with fun powers that integrate smoothly with the action sequences – Expands upon existing character arcs but lacks focus on the “real” key players to the story as it relates to the world/magic systems the big reveal just didn’t work for me – The once endearing metaphors/similes of David Charleston feels burdensome to read especially during fight-or-flight situations – Continued excellence in an immersive setting this time taking place in Ildithia (post-mortem Atlanta) Should this book be picked up? the tl dr review: (re: Goodreads Calamity by Brandon Sanderson) And David is just about crazy enough to face down the most powerful High Epic of all to get his friend back. Redemption is possible for Epics-Megan proved it. He’s disappeared into those murky shadows of menace Epics are infamous for the world over, and everyone knows there’s no turning back…īut everyone is wrong. But facing Obliteration in Babilar was too much. And now Regalia has turned his closest ally into a dangerous enemy.ĭavid knew Prof’s secret, and kept it even when the Reckoners’ leader struggled to control the effects of his Epic powers. David’s fate has been tied to their villainy ever since that historic night. When Calamity lit up the sky, the Epics were born.
