This is a really fun, fast-paced YA read that would be perfect fare for the summer. Steelheart is the first book in a trilogy. Looking forward to reading the other two books -- Firefight and Calamity -- which are already on my shelf. This series was recommended to me by my 12-year-old who fell in love it with it after it was recommended to her by my husband. Clearly, I'm the slowest reader in the family. :-)

This book started off like a comic book movie and I just couldn't get into it. I did finish it and the author clearly has talent, this one just felt too formulaic. I thought the main character was unrealistic and did not have enough backstory and I felt no real connection with the other characters. Too simplistic and cliche for me, not a lot of depth.

Another great Sanderson tale.
Easily my least favorite Brandon Sanderson book to date. It's not my cup of tea, but it isn't bad. I'd recommend this book for youth, not so much for someone looking for something memorable and epic.

An awesome adventure, cool premise, fun characters, must read! A great novel for young adult superhero/comic book fans. Can't wait to see where this story goes with the next book.
