Then, at the end, while the action picked up and I became more engaged again, the character deaths didn’t move me as much as they maybe should have. So the middle third of the book lagged to me, largely due to the alternating focus on David/Megan and on the main conflict.
I know Sanderson can do better he has, in fact.
STEELHEART BOOK DAVID SERIES
Also, having a romance as part of what drives the plot in a young adult science-fiction adventure series feels somewhat trite to me by now. I was much more interested in getting dirt on Obliteration and Regalia. While this does have more significance than just them like-liking each other, I thought it shouldn’t have been the main focus at that point. Bits in the middle felt somewhat unfocused for example, several chapters in the middle of the team’s attempts to spy on Obliteration are dedicated instead to David and Megan’s relationship. However, some elements of this were not as great as I think they could have been.
Some minor edits have been made to this review.įirefight is a fine follow-up to Steelheart David’s “metaphors” continue to baffle and amuse, there are a couple good new characters and settings, which is cool, and the ending left me wondering how the third book will go.
This review was originally posted on my Goodreads account. I first read Firefight by Brandon Sanderson (the second book in the Reckoners trilogy) in November 2017. This review contains SPOILERS - proceed with caution if you haven’t read the book yet!
