It’s an incredibly solid second book overall, and it has less of a “second book in a trilogy” flavor to it than most. Technically, even my use of “analogies” is incorrect) and fleshing out the nature of Epic powers and weaknesses. You have no idea how much that bothered me.
And he’s willing to go on a quest darker and even more dangerous than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers.įirefight improved on a lot of things that I wasn’t all that fond of in Steelheart, such as tuning down David’s ridiculous analogies (and, by the way, thank you, Megan, for pointing out that they’re not metaphors, as he’s been calling them, but similes. Somehow, he filled that hole with another Epic-Firefight. A hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in David’s heart. Entering a city oppressed by a High Epic despot is risky, but David’s willing to take the gamble. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic Regalia, Babylon Restored is flooded and miserable, but David is sure it’s the path that will lead him to what he needs to find. Babylon Restored, the city formerly known as the borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. And no one in Newcago can give him answers. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life simpler.
Yet Steelheart-invincible, immortal, unconquerable-is dead. They told David it was impossible-that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic.
Firefight, by Brandon Sanderson, was published in 2015 by Delacorte Press.
