Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson
4.0

I've read quite a lot of Sanderson's work recently. And when you do that, you start noticing patterns in authors' story structures. Sanderson does love his band of heroes.
This is in no way a bad thing. Steelheart is still an incredibly innovative book. The Reckoners series is why I fell in love with Sanderson's stories in the first place.
Just, as a general rule: try not to read too many books by a favourite author too close together.

I knocked a star off my rating because, unfortunately, Sanderson fell prey to the "if the heel is snapped off a stiletto, it means the shoe is a flat, right?" trope that is in no way true. I only know of one pair of heels that does that and I last saw it on Kickstarter.
