They told David it was impossible – that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet, Steelheart – invincible, immortal, unconquerable – is dead. And he died by David’s hand.
Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life more simple. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Big ones. And there’s no one in Newcago who can give him the answers he needs.
Babylon Restored, the old borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic, Regalia, David is sure Babylon Restored will lead him to what he needs to find. And while entering another city oppressed by a High Epic despot is a gamble, David’s willing to risk it. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in David’s heart. A hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. Somehow, he filled that hole with another Epic – Firefight. And he’s willing to go on a quest darker, and more dangerous even, than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers.

Full of action
Firefight is filled with a spine-tingling adventure and heart-racing action that promises to satisfy fans both new and old
The world of The Reckoners is suddenly presented in all its glory. It's an incredibly vibrant setting that showcases the entire breadth of Sanderson's talent. Expect to finish this one in single sitting.
Firefight is a rollercoaster ride of action, entertainment, and humour
Full of action
The stories are complex, fascinating, and filled to the brim with three-dimensional characters
as always, Brandon Sanderson creates a unique and interesting universe we get to explore alongside the protagonist...a fun, action packed ride for those of us who remain a child at heart.
Steelheart is the literature equivalent of a blockbuster; episodic and fast-paced with surprises around every turn.
Firefight is a visual, almost cinematic novel
A terrifically tall tale, packaging the superhero action into compelling, punchy chapters that keep you reading. It's a fast, feisty read with characters that are skillfully drawn, assassinations, gunfights, physics bending motorcycle chases and a world you can't wait to hear more about.

Firefight is an absolute blast of a book and a definite recommendation whether you're a Brandon Sanderson fan, or have never read any of his work (although in that case make sure you read Steelheart first!)
another brisk YA fantasy from Sanderson - inventive, action-stuffed and surprising until the end
