However, if you didn’t accept those premises (and their usefulness is very much up for debate), then you would have found Steelheart a bit of a frustrating read. Accessible to younger readers and more mature fans alike, Steelheart was enjoyable and easy to breeze through. If you accepted those premises, the book was a success. The book was aimed at teens, rather than the broad fantasy audience, it featured superheroes set on earth rather than fantastical characters set on other worlds, and it was a lighter, shorter, less deep read than the series such as Mistborn, The Stormlight Archive and the concluding books to The Wheel of Time with which Sanderson has made his stellar reputation. Review Brandon Sanderson’s novel Steelheart was based on a number of premises which diverged from the popular fantasy author’s standard fare. If you haven’t read Steelheart, you shouldn’t be reading Firefight or this review. Note: The following review contains spoilers for the first book in The Reckoners series, Steelheart.
