asamithewitch 's review for:
Steelheart
by Brandon Sanderson
After reading so many books, watching plenty of media and playing a lot of video games, you become wise to plot twists and generally start understanding how stories tend to play out. Therefore, when a story succeeds at blindsiding you, it’s always a pleasant surprise.
This is the case for Steelheart: The last third of the book kept throwing so many things that I hadn’t expected to happen.
Personally, I believe it is the lightest book (in terms of details) that I’ve read so far by Brandon Sanderson but I think it’s supposed to be aimed at a slightly younger audience than his other books. It was still amazing.
The world is impressive; it is a cross between the old (fashion and attitude, particularly) and the futuristic (steel city, technology, etc.)!
The characters are colourful and varied. The ones we got to meet have been strong, solid characters: My favourite has to be Cody with his quirkiness. I only wish that we got to know more about Steelheart himself; it felt like there could be so much more there. It might be addressed in the next books, perhaps?
