it was amazing bookshelves: books-i-would-blurb

's review

I got a chance to read an early version of this a little while ago. Needless to say, I jumped at it.



The reason for this is that so far, I haven't read a book by Brandon Sanderson that I haven't loved. That means it's quite likely that I'll get a chance to read another good book, which is always welcome.



OR I'll finally read something of Sanderson's I *don't* like. Which would thrill me, honestly.



Why? Well, because Brandon writes so much faster than me. It only seems fair that some of his stuff should be crap. It just doesn't seem fair that he's brilliant AND fast....



Unfortunately for my ego, Steelheart is another win for Sanderson, proving that he's not a brilliant writer of epic fantasy, he's simply a brilliant writer. Period.



Simply said. Great book. Tight writing. Nice take on superheroes. Nice world creation. Absolutely worth your time.
