A review by sydneyjacques
Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson
4.0
4.5/5 stars - Half a star off first due to the the repeated episodes of Kinda Uncomfortable/Sketchy Comments with David. Second, because everything repeated a bit in the middle. I just felt that the way to develop things was to blow stuff up while you're at it... over and over and over again. Which - granted - cool, but it gets old after so long, you know?
BUT HAPPY THINGS:
First place goes to the sass master and bad metaphors ninja, Mr. David himself. Amazing MC.Top notch. Huge fan.
The ending. 100% yes the ending. Beautiful. Very impressed.
The fact that it was very dark, but felt light-hearted at the same time? That was nice.
And it had a ton of action (see: blow stuff up while you're at it), but had characters and ideas too, so I didn't feel as if I'd just consumed approximately 400 pages of brain candy.
