About this listen
The first book in a new, action-packed thrill ride of a series, from the number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Mistborn Trilogy and The Way of Kings.
Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his wills. Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them. And David wants in. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father.
For years, like the Reckoners, David's been studying and planning - and he has something they need. Not an object but an experience. He's seen Steelheart bleed. And he wants revenge.
Read by MacLeod Andrews.

Excellent
An excellent, gripping story. The characters are all memorable and interesting with lots of creative twists. Some twists, although hidden very well, aren't the best twists. Perfect amount of foreshadowing but little reason to listen again.
The main problem is with the writing. There's nothing wrong with it, there's just nothing too memorable about it. It's not outstanding. That said, it still earns its four stars.
Also, I don't think the author knows what a metaphor is.

Not the best Sanderson but still great
For me this doesn’t stand up to Sanderson other work. But it’s still better then most anything out there.
Maybe it just didn’t connect with me as much as it might with you.
If you enjoyed Wex and Wayne’s adventure then this will tickle your fancy.
For me I was more drawn to the stormlight archives and early mistbourn
This is still an amazing story with an amount of science to balance the magic and minus Prof and Cody (who come across as a wax and Wayne tribute band) the characters are interesting and well formed, and the story sets a good pace.

Another awesome story by Sanderson
I am not surprised I have loved this book, I am a true Sanderson supporter - he doesn't miss when it comes to the Cosmere. But this was different. A post-apocalyptic world with the original signature Brandon always leaves in his work. Absolutely fantastic. The reader was obviously carefully selected - matches the main character perfectly, and his performance adds a lot to the experience. Totally recommend this audiobook - I'll be listening to the next book in the series in a minute or two.

pretty good!
Great story, the narrator was really good. Except for the fact that he has a moist mouth. Which should tell you how good this book is, I have sensory issues and almost turned it off multiple times but I just HAD to know what happens next.
Great work!
