Critics Review

A grand finale, presented with a touch light enough to buoy all the self-actualization * Kirkus Reviews *An engaging and impactful conclusion to the Skyward series * Biblio Sanctum *A page-turning conclusion * Novel Notions *In typical Sanderlanche fashion, the climax was a stellar experience * FanFiAddict *another brisk YA fantasy from Sanderson - inventive, action-stuffed and surprising until the end * SFX *Secrets intensify this ripping yarn, which is crammed with peril, thrills and snappy dialogue * Daily Mail *Brandon Sanderson is the most immersive fantasy writer I’ve ever encountered * Ben Aaronovitch *Skyward is an adventure and a half that you won’t want to miss. Even hardcore Cosmere fans will enjoy the special mix of fantasy and sci-fi that unfolds as you watch Spensa learn what it means to be truly brave. * TOR.COM *Steelheart is the literature equivalent of a blockbuster; episodic and fast-paced with surprises around every turn. * SCI FI NOW *Full of action * THE SUN *All the main characteristics of a Sanderson novel from a writer at the top of his game. * FANTASY BOOK REVIEW *With this action-packed trilogy opener, Sanderson offers up a resourceful, fearless heroine and a memorable cast-including a strangely humorous, mushroom-obsessed robot-set against the backdrop of a desperate conflict. As the pulse-pounding story intensifies and reveals its secrets, a cliffhanger ending sets things up for the next instalment. * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY *as always, Brandon Sanderson creates a unique and interesting universe we get to explore alongside the protagonist…a fun, action packed ride for those of us who remain a child at heart. * Best Fantasy Books *The world of The Reckoners is suddenly presented in all its glory. It’s an incredibly vibrant setting that showcases the entire breadth of Sanderson’s talent. Expect to finish this one in single sitting. * Upcoming 4 Me *The stories are complex, fascinating, and filled to the brim with three-dimensional characters * Fantasy Book Review *Firefight is a visual, almost cinematic novel * Buzzy Mag *Firefight is a rollercoaster ride of action, entertainment, and humour * Smash Dragons *Firefight is filled with a spine-tingling adventure and heart-racing action that promises to satisfy fans both new and old * Fantasy Book Critic *Steelheart is the literature equivalent of a blockbuster; episodic and fast-paced with surprises around every turn. * SCI FI NOW *A terrifically tall tale, packaging the superhero action into compelling, punchy chapters that keep you reading. It’s a fast, feisty read with characters that are skillfully drawn, assassinations, gunfights, physics bending motorcycle chases and a world you can’t wait to hear more about. * SFX *Full of action * THE SUN *
