Publisher's Summary

Brandon Sanderson, the number one New York Times best-selling author of Words of Radiance, co-author of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series, and creator of the internationally best-selling Mistborn Trilogy, presents the second book in the Reckoners series: Firefight, the sequel to the #1 best seller Steelheart. 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.

Pretty good

The only reason this is a 4 star book is because its no Mistborn, but it's pretty close. The story continues and Brandon Sanderson's writing improves. Definitely buying the next book.

Sparks! I Almost Didn’t Listen but I'm Glad I did!

This is a much better book than Steelheart. This book stands on its own two feet, excluding a scene where a plan is written out on a blackboard this is very different than Mistborn. The plot is much deeper than the first book in the series.

McLeod Andrews improved as a narrator. Once again, he made David come to life. As I said before, his comedic timing and his voice really went well with David’s character. In this book he did a better job voicing the female characters and there weren’t the “cut ins” where it sounded like he re-recorded a section as his voice got louder and his pitch changed.

I could not recommend a better series.

Once again, Brandon Sanderson outdoes himself. I can’t wait to listen to Calamity. Andrews is a fantastic narrator.

Really fun book

Like its predecessor, Firefight is a fun book. Not overly complicated, some mild twists. I really enjoyed it.

Better than book 1?

The Reckoners series is pretty unique and I think this book is even better than book 1. Did I see it coming? yes. Did I enjoy it anyway? Absolutely.
