Rather than swords and sorcery, Sanderson’s premise is flight and telekinesis, invisibility and fire. For a guy who kicked of his career with epic fantasy, it also shows the breadth of his imagination and flexibility. At a time when Marvel and DC turnout multiple blockbusters at the movie theater each year–think The Avengers, Iron Man, the Dark Knight, and Man of Steel–interest in superheroes is at an all time high and Sanderson’s look at the dark potential of super-powered humans is a timely and relevant addition to the genre.
Steelheart, first in the Reckoners series, may have the broadest appeal of Brandon Sanderson’s growing variety of imaginary worlds.
