Why is it overrrrr. I should have learned from Mistborn not to start a Sanderson series if I couldn't handle binging it. Well. I binge read Steelheart, Mistosis, and Firefight and now I am upset I don't have more. Sigh. 
 Anyway. Firefight was great! I love how different it was and how things really evolved from the first book without me feeling like things are TOO different as I so often do with a seized book in a series. 
 The range of emotions totally got amped up a notch too. Some serious shipping, exciting action, great plotting, and yes -- so many more questions that I neeeeeed answered. *looks around* *waits impatiently* 
 Full review as originally posted on The Book Addict's Guide: Well, Brandon Sanderson, you did it again. I start a series, I binge read everything. Except unlike when I started Mistborn, I have no where else to go from here. FIREFIGHT just came out January... and I think I'll be waiting another YEAR for CALAMITY (but then again, I guess I can always read more Sanderson books in between that time, right? RIGHT). Anyway -- my point is that I just ended up loving these books so much that once I started, I couldn't stop!! 
 FIREFIGHT was a special kind of book to me because so many big bullet points about it about it SHOULD have made it fall into the "second book in a series syndrome" category but it definitely did NOT. AND I REJOICED! This really made the book even more magical. I realized it while I was reading but once I finished, it dawned on me that not only was this book great in general, but Brandon Sanderson managed to turn things that I usually don't get along with into things that I ended up loving and appreciating. I guess it really, truly does depend on the book and how it's put together! 
 But that realization aside, FIREFIGHT was already awesome. The action and intensity definitely increased a notch but the same characters and overall goals were there. FIREFIGHT actually takes place halfway across the country from STEELHEART and that actually didn't bother me like it usually does. The plot felt gracefully carried over and ultimately connected so the change in scenery was actually welcome and interesting instead of foreign. It opened up a new part of this altered world to me and I loved discovering it alongside David. (He's also a great tour guide to follow!) Even though Steelheart has been eliminated, there are always more Epics to stop so the action definitely doesn't stop with Steelheart's defeat. In fact, things continue to escalate and as the characters come to know more about each Epic as well as their abilities, the plot continues to thicken! 
 We meet a new cast of characters to accompany some familiar faces like David and Prof. I usually have a hard time getting to know a bunch of new characters later in a series simply because I've become attached to the original ones, but I actually really liked the newbies too! I don't think I connected to them AS much but I always felt like their presence was vital to the story and it was interesting to see a different string of Reckoners! 
 In true Sanderson form, of course there are some GREAT SURPRISES. They kill me but oh, how I love them. As you can see from my status updates below, some of them really caught me off guard and some of them absolutely terrified me but all of that really just enhanced my reading experience. Once again, I was afraid of ugly sobbing in my car as I listened to the audiobook, but that's just a sign of a really great connection to the book so I always take that as a win! I really become attached to these characters and after I finished the book, I was already missing this crew and that feeling I had as I was reading. 
 FIREFIGHT just continued another great series from Brandon Sanderson and I will constantly be awaiting his next book so I can quickly gobble it up and then feel full and hollow all at once! I'm so glad to have started this series and I'll be anxiously awaiting CALAMITY to see what in the world will possibly happen next! 
 (And yes, Megan is noticeably absent from my review. I had to go find out what happened to her, where she went, and what everything means for her and David in this book so you will too! Trust me -- it's all worth it.) 
 AUDIOBOOK IMPRESSIONS 
 Thank you again to Audible for hooking me up with this audiobook to review! As always, MacLeod Andrews is flawless. I just LOVE his narration and GOSH, these books. I mean, between Sanderson and his narration, I just FEEL all the feels, you know? These aren't even crying books but somehow I sobbed at both. A huge bravo and I highly recommend his narrations!
