Sometimes, son," my father said, prying my fingers free, "you have to help the heroes along. 
 I finally read Steelheart! I made it my goal a couple months ago, after reading The Mistborn trilogy, to read ALL of Brandon Sanderson books--yes all of them and not leave even one out! Brandon Sanderson is one of my favourite authors of all time--and I feel--should be looked up to as a god. 
 Sanderson writes fantasy--one of my favourite or if not my absolute favourite genre-- I'm more into High Fantasy like how The Final Empire was (if you didn't know this book's Urban Fantasy), but I knew he would not disappoint me and I would love this book. And obviously I did. 
 The Plot 
 I've seen Steelheart bleed. 
 And I will see him bleed again. 
 After Calamatity a strange event that has turned regular people into superhuman beings known as Epics. Epics possesse crazy powers that regular people can only dream of, the downside of all this is that when people turn into Epics they turn evil I guess you could say. David Charleston father has been killed by a powerful Epic--known as Steelheart--but before his father died, he shot a bullet at Steelheart and it made him bleed--an Epic that is supposedly bulletproof and impenetrable. David 10 years later still so filled with vengeance seeks out a rebel group, know as the reckoners with one goal only. To kill Steelheart. And make him pay 
 My thoughts 
 This book was so fast paced and almost impossible to put down.Brandon Sanderson's writing is amazing, and he is such a great story teller. Everyone of his books that I pick up blows me away. He finds ways to make you feel so connected to the characters--which can be conceived as good and bad because Brandon Sanderson is an author who doesn't care to kill off your favourite characters... or all the characters for that matter, so I'm constantly biting my nails--afraid--that he's going to kill off every character that I see. 
 Magic power shit? Cool. I like powers and magic...and... Shit? Snaderson's Magic is the best, he has powers that are so interesting but are also believable in the sense that they have limits--so it's not like they can move mountains, control people's minds, and randomly blow up objects at random--in this book all the Epics had a weakness and if you discovered that weakness... Well congratulations! You know get a chopped up Epic ready to be disposed of! All the Epics have a power but sometimes more than one but those are usually just the more powerful ones. 
 David had methophors in this book: 
 They looked so dangerous, like alligators. Really fast alligators wearing black. Ninja alligators. I decided not to use that one on Megan. 
 Now these awful methophors were completely intensional and I happened to infact find them really amusing. 
 Was this better than Mistborn? 
 Pfft no! Mistborn is a master piece. I did not expect this one to be better than Mistborn, it's still one of my new favourites and better than most of the things I've read this year but if you've read Mistborn you'd understand, it is a fantasy readers dream come true (Plus I think I did mention I'm not that into UF). 
 Recommended? (Have you not been listening) 
 Yes! Yes! Yes! Go read this book or anything else by Brandon Sanderson right this moment if you enjoy faced paced amazing fantasies. 
 It's good for you to think of this, son. Ponder. Worry. Stay up nights, frightened for the casualties of your ideology. It will do you good to realize the price for fighting.
