Steelheart
by Brandon Sanderson
YA book I read for school purposes. Interesting concept--people turn into Epics, people with super-powers, and become corrupted by their new-found power.
The book centers on a young man who lost his father to an Epic. This boy has focused his entire life on revenge--Inigo Montoya, of The Princess Bride-type revenge. It is hard to believe that the main character is a boy of 18. When reading, his thoughts and actions seem closer to a 14 year old.
This book focuses on David (the young man) joining a group that has the main purpose of destroying all Epics.
The story is fairly thin but provides enough action and movement to carry the reader to the end.
Since this is a series, I'm tempted to see what happens in the next book but I'm not sure I can stomach it. It is definitely a YA book (4th to 6th grade; middle school level) so I might need a little while to prepare myself for the next one.
