Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren’s capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people.

Histoire
According to mythology, mankind used to live in 'The Tranquiline Halls': heaven. But then the Voidbringers assaulted and captured heaven, casting out God and men. Men took root on Roshar, the world of storms, but the Voidbringers followed. The Almighty gave men powerful suits of armor and mystical weapons, the Shardblades. Led by 10 angelic Heralds and 10 orders of knights known as Radiants, mankind finally won (or so the legends say).

Description
From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Mistborn Trilogy, Brandon Sanderson, comes the first book in a new, action-packed thrill ride of a series - Steelheart. 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 will.
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.

He got the idea from a near traffic accident
I always find it fascinating where writers get their ideas and, according to an article by Rachel Brutsch of the Deseret News, Brandon Sanderson was cut off in traffic one day and immediately thought of the other driver, “You’re lucky I don’t have super powers because I would totally blow your car off the road.” That immediate thought horrified him; and he thought, “Its a good thing I don’t have superpowers.” Then he pondered, “What if the evil guys had all of the super powers?” That idea was the essence for his new Y.A. series, “Reckoning.”
Steeheart is a super-villain. He is one of many that received their power from a star called Calamity that appeared in the sky one day. Most thought the people that received these new found powers would use them for the benefit of mankind; wrong. With ultimate power comes ultimate corruption.
Steelheart has the strength of 10 men. He’s virtually indestructible, he can fly and when he’s enraged he can turn inanimate objects into steel. He exercised that particular power to transform most of Chicago and part of Lake Michigan before becoming the emperor of “Newcago.”
David Charleston was an eight year old boy when he saw Steelheart murder his father. Ten years has passed and David can think of only one thing; bringing Steelheart down. He is just a normal human and decides to recruit another group of humans, called “Reckoners” to help him. Reckoners study those like Steelheart, to learn their weaknesses.
This is a story that has been told many times, the struggle between good and evil, but this time Superman is not on our side; can good still win?
Its billed as a Y.A. book, and there is some romance that is usually associated with such genre, it does not, however, overwhelms the story; anyone that like Sci-Fi adventure should like this book. It is, after all, by Brandon Sanderson; and, by all indications it is the start of an epic tale.

Really fun book!
What made the experience of listening to Steelheart the most enjoyable?
Sanderson has great creativity and twists throughout the book. Hardly any dull interludes are included. The action and descriptions are excellent. MacLeod Andrews does an amazing job with the narration.
What did you like best about this story?
It does a great job of pulling you right in. Within just a few pages the listener is hooked and has a hard time stepping away from the action that Sanderson creates.
What does MacLeod Andrews bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Andrews is superb. He brings the characters to life with vivid color. I can't imagine anyone doing a better job.
Any additional comments?
While I am 30 or so years past the primary target market for this book, I really appreciate how the work was handled. An exciting fantasy that is "clean" is a wonderful thing.

Character development a little weak, but enjoyable
I liked the concept of this book, and the universe that was developed for it, but the characters and the teenage love story felt ham-handed. The main character is bad at puns and metaphors, which the author plays off as an endearing character trait, but it comes across as weak writing. Still, the book was enjoyable, in the way that a movie by Michael Bay is enjoyable when you want to put your brain on autopilot and watch something shiny.

wondrous storytelling
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
yes, but i couldn't. hey! i have a day job! LOL it took 2 days. after writing a bunch of SQL and LINQ code for 6 hours straight ON A SATURDAY, this story was a welcome reward. even though i had to be up on sunday at 7 a.m., i kept listening until i was finished at a little after 3 a.m. yup, i was totally engrossed!
Any additional comments?
i'm attracted to stories where a person or group of people are up against a seemingly impossible situation, and what's more impossible than trying to kill the most powerful super villain, especially when you have no superpowers yourself?
this is the situation our protagonist, david, finds himself in. david is at the bank with his father the day steelheart decides to take over Chicago. during a melee with another "epic," super-powered human, david's father manages to injure steelheart by accident. as any paranoid super villain would, steelheart decides to utterly destroy the bank and everyone in it to hide the fact that someone as seemingly impervious to any type of attack as he's supposed to be was some how injured. david barely manages to escape, and he knows that steelheart will go to any lengths to protect his secret.
there are layers of conflict in this story. the outer layers are obvious- the conflicts between battling epics for the domination and subjugation of normal humans. the middle layers- the conflicts between characters. the inner layers- the conflicts raging within each character. i can't say much more w/o spoiling some of the story. sanderson seamlessly weaves these layers together, creating a rich depthness of character, and you can't help but wonder what you'd really do. the characters connect with you, and each character's viewpoint is distinct enough that different listeners would undoubtedly decide which character's viewpoint matches their own. i actually found myself wavering between 2 drastically differing viewpoints- prof's and megan's. both are cogent arguments.
the pacing of this story is perfect. the action sequences are exciting, and the dialogue is spot on. it is meaningful and believable. there are a few nice twists and turns in the story.
the narration is great. i have been a fan of macleod andrews since i heard him narrate the sandman slim series. his gritty voice matches our young protagonist, david's. he also does a great job voicing the other characters.

comicbook based wasn't my taste but narrator great
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
if you like comic book super heros its great just not my taste.
What was most disappointing about Brandon Sanderson’s story?
not well advertised as comicbook style
Which character – as performed by MacLeod Andrews – was your favorite?
I really like this mans ability to run the gambit of voices. I so far like them all. The deep male Russian style accent is my favorite so far.
Could you see Steelheart being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
With the love for comicon, avengers batman etc sure
Any additional comments?
Good book just not for me. Keep up the good work there are plenty out there that love this type of thing.

I gave it a chance...
I'm sorry to say after being an avid fan of the Mistborn series and being excited to listen to Steelheart, I was incredibly disappointed. Maybe comic book fans can more readily overlook the plot holes and stupid assumptions, but unfortunately I couldn't really stomach a lot of this book. The "powers" and "weaknesses" were equally ridiculous at times, and overall it was caddy and silly. It did have it's moments, but aside from giving Mr. Sanderson a chance to prove this book's worth, I certainly would have passed. :( I guess when I get to the Alloy of Law series, I'll have to check some reviews first - unfortunate.

Great narration of an almost great story
I really wanted to like this book. The premise and opening chapters made it sound like exactly what I would want to read, and I've heard good things about Sanderson's other books. Unfortunately I never managed to get into Steelheart. From start to finish it went exactly how these stories are supposed to go. Every interaction, every conflict, every twist felt stale to varying degrees. The ending was satisfying in exactly the way somebody told the author an ending is supposed to be satisfying, and the main character comes of age like a main character coming of age. There is witty banter and moral/philosophical discussion in the right places, but it comes off as clunky.
There were enough good aspects that I'm certainly going to try some of the author's other work, but I wouldn't recommend Steelheart.

So-so story, fun narration
Would you try another book from Brandon Sanderson and/or MacLeod Andrews?
Probably
Would you recommend Steelheart to your friends? Why or why not?
For young adults who appreciate the superhero genre
Have you listened to any of MacLeod Andrews’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
MacLeod Andrews made the Morgue Drawer series so much more enjoyable.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No
Any additional comments?
Sanderson is a good YA author that older adults can also appreciate. I quite liked The Way of Kings, and was able to overlook some of the small annoyances. With the overall high rating for Steelheart, i bought it. This book however, would have fared better as a graphic novel to be enjoyed by those who love the superhero genre. The book has an age old premise: that power can corrupt. It includes the now standard Sanderson young (annoying) romance, and humor that isn't funny. Cliches abound, starting with the names -- David, the boy going up against a giant. Abraham the wise, Doc the scientist. If nothing else, Sanderson does entertain with his tales. This audio version is read by MacLeod Andrews who is also the narrator for the very funny Morgue Drawer series -- which gave this audio book instant cred from me.

Superhelden einmal anders
Ich finde es immer wieder faszinierend mit welch neuen Szenarien Brandon Sanderson an den Start einer neuen Serie geht.
Warum sollten Menschen mit überlegenen Fähigkeiten zu 'Helden' werden und für die normalen Menschen eine bessere Welt schaffen ?
Würden Meschen mit entsprechender Überlegenheit diese nicht eher zu ihrem Vorteil nutzen ?
Eine interessante Ausgangslage und einmal wieder mit hohem Tempo in eine recht actionlastige Geschichte gepackt.
Bin schon gespannt was Sanderson noch alles dazu einfällt.

Exciting except for disappointing female character
The story and Sandersons world building are amazing as usual. I was really annoyed by the treatment of the one (!) main female character, however. Especially the way in which the main character treats her in the beginning (and it's viewed as "flirting") and how she's tossed aside at the end. Vin was the only woman in Kelzier's team but at least she got stuff done and didnt only exist as a love interest without contributing to the actual story. Still, this might improve in the next books of the series.
In general, Sanderson seems to have liked his main character a bit too much, he finds a way out of all difficult situations that somehow the much more experienced teammates don't.

Wow!
This story is so extraordinary and unheard-of. I'm so glad that I tried this great book of Brandon Sanderson. I was hooked from the beginning and were waiting for the sequel "Fireflight" which just came out this month.
And the speaker? I am speechless. MacLeod Andrews is so unbelievable talented and colorful. His ability to switch between different voices and accents is just amazing!
Bottom line: If you are open for science fiction and action, try it and you will love it!
