About this ebook
The #1 New York Times bestseller and sequel to Steelheart from Brandon Sanderson, the author of Oathbringer, coauthor of Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series, and creator of the internationally bestselling Mistborn trilogy, presents the second book in the Reckoners series: Firefight. And don’t miss Calamity, the exciting conclusion to the Reckoners series!
Newcago is free.
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 simpler. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Big ones. And no one in Newcago can give him answers.
Babylon Restored, the city formerly known as the borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. 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. Entering a city oppressed by a High Epic despot is risky, but David's willing to take the gamble. 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 now he will go on a quest darker and even more dangerous than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers.
Praise for the Reckoners Series:
#1 New York Times Bestselling Series
“Another win for Sanderson . . . he’s simply a brilliant writer. Period.” —Patrick Rothfuss, author of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller The Name of the Wind
“Action-packed.” —EW.com
“Compelling. . . . Sanderson uses plot twists that he teases enough for readers to pick up on to distract from the more dramatic reveals he has in store.” —The A.V. Club

Brandon Sanderson knows how to write. He knows how to end a story and he knows how to throw shadows of hints without revealing the whole present. He makes interesting characters that you can become invested in and describes interesting worlds that you can get lost in. My favorite modern author for 2 years running and there doesn't seem to be any bumps in the road to slow down the next 2 years. Don't be afraid to read all of his works, you'll be glad you did!

This book is phenomenal in Sri many ways. It does its job of laying the groundwork for the events in Calamity (which was its main purpose), yet it still manages to be incredibly consuming. I found myself unable to think of anything else until I finished. Can't wait for Calamity!!

Sanderson had truly outdone himself on this one. Not only is it an equally page-turning sequel to Steelheart and a dramatic expansion of story from the first book, but Firefight also adds an additional dimension to the Reckoner team that I couldn't have imagined before. This book will have you questioning motives and unsure of who David should really trust. Evidently, killing the supervillains wasn't as simple as he thought it would be.
