An Absolute Epic Read

I didn't think I'd be posting another book review so soon, but I've gotta say, the book that I've just finished only moments ago has been an EPIC journey and I couldn't help myself but log onto Blogger and start reviewing and use this as an excuse to post something.

So the second book of the year 2015 is Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson. Seriously if you've not read this book, I advise you to stop what you are doing right now and go read that book now!

My Rating: 5 BLOODY EPIC STARS/5

The Plot: 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.

Review: Why have I never heard of this Author? Why why why did I only discover this books 2 days ago? This book is absolute insanity. The prologue had my heart pounding and I was just left there wanting more, I needed more. You have normal book beginnings and then you have this, this epic prologue which leaves you yearning for more. I was hooked and dived right into it. 

In David's world, these Epics - humans with superpowers - have taken over. Sound very Cliche and comic book type story? But no, the creativity and the world Sanderson has created is far more greater and far more detailed than your average comic book. The description, the action, the characters, is all perfect and I was never once bored or annoyed or frustrated at anything throughout the whole thing.

Blaah, I don't even have the words to describe this book, my words will never give this book justice. And even if I attempt at a metaphor to help me describe it, I'll probably be just as bad David :P 

This was definitely a bloody good read after that disappointment of an ending in Daughter. 

Yes yes I know my book reviewing sucks ass, I've never reviewed books before, but please bare with me, I do hope to get better at this as the reviewing continues, so I hope you continue reading. 

My next post shall hopefully be up soon and it's going to be Cupcakes :) now who doesn't like Cupcakes? 

Until then lovelies,
