In an unfortunate future, David, a normal boy with the desire for revenge to kill his father’s murderer, finally sees his opportunity to accomplish the task. Throughout his journey, he must fight Epics (humans with extraordinary powers and no regard for others), but he will not be able to do it alone. After finding a team with similar goals, David seems to have everything he needs to finally avenge his father; however, the group’s original balance seems to have been lost… despite this, will David finally complete his life goal? Steelheart is a great book that keeps you turning pages, yearning to know what comes next. With plot twists and a pace that builds momentum, you’ll be easily invested and continue reading until you realize that the book is already almost over. Coming close to a length of 400 pages, Steelheart’s characters are well-developed; their emotions feel like those directly from real people, both acting and reacting as such. I would easily recommend this book to those looking for a somewhat special take on ‘superpowers’, along with people who are willing to get immersed in a well-built dystopian.
