Firefight

Firefight by Brandon Sanderson

Firefight is the second book in the Reckoners series, sequel to Steelheart.  Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life more simple.  Instead, it only made David realize he has some big questions.  There is no one in Newcago who can give him any answers. Is he willing to go on a quest darker, and more dangerous than the fight against Steelheart?

First off a disclaimer, I really, really like Brandon Sanderson's books.  This sequel to Steelheart is no exception.  Sanderson did a great job continuing the story.  It takes up where Steelheart left off (I won't say too much about the plot in case you haven't read the first book.)  The Reckoner's are continuing their fight against the Epics, but the stakes are getting higher and by the end of the book several characters will make the ultimate sacrifice.  Will all be lost or will David be able to find a way to save them all?  

Sanderson does an amazing job at keeping the same personalities for his characters and the story is never boring as he builds the plot, keeping us abreast of the events as though we were there.  The story line is original and fresh and definitely worth reading!

You can find this book in the Young Adult section of the library.
