Firefight is the second in the Reckoners series - which is a young adult sci fi series. Our family listened to the first....at some point last summer, and so the second has been what E and I have been listening to on our various trips to and from Cedar Falls to get his driving hours.

In Firefight we get to follow our protagonist David/Steelslayer (he's gotten a cool new nickname now) to a new city to learn more about the Epics and what may have created them. But as we learn more things also become more...complicated. There is a lot of fun action in this book, and I have to imagine Sanderson had a really great time dreaming up all the powers of the different Epics. E and I were definitely invested in the story, and the mix of humor and action was perfect for the two of us. Again, it's a YA series so the foreshadowing is a little thick at times, but there were also some twists and turns that I didn't see coming.

Absolutely recommend, and we're looking forward to finishing the trilogy!
