A review by silvarai
Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson
2.0
I really expected more from this author. It is my first time reading a Sanderson book and I had heard so many good things. I think I will still be checking out his adult fantasy since this is YA and a completely different genre.
I felt disappointed in this one because it honestly felt like reading an action movie or a comic book. I felt absolutely no connection to the main character and the "love" that he had for another character felt flat and emotionless and every time he talked about his feelings for her I was pretty much just asking myself "okay...why do you feel that way?" I just couldn't understand where the connection was coming from.
There was constant action but I just didn't really care what happened to any of the characters. Didn't care if they won or lost, if they were hurt or killed, anything that I should have felt reading this kind of novel.
The superhero thing was an interesting concept for a book and I think it could have been good if it had been done well. Unfortunately, it just wasn't.
