The Summary
"Newcago is free.
"They told David it was impossible--that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet Steelheart--invincible, immortal, unconquerable--is dead. And he died by David's hand.
"Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life simpler. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Big ones. And no one in Newcago can give him answers.
"Babylon Restored, the city formerly known as the borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic Regalia, Babylon Restored is flooded and miserable, but David is sure it's the path that will lead him to what he needs to find. Entering a city oppressed by a High Epic despot is risky, but David's willing to take the gamble. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in David's heart. A hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. Somehow, he filled that hole with another Epic--Firefight. And he's willing to go on a quest darker and even more dangerous than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers."
The Good
Honestly, I enjoyed Firefight almost as much as I enjoyed Steelheart. Fast-paced and action-packed, Firefight is a great sequel to the Reckoners series by Brandon Sanderson. Adding in Regalia and Obliteration gave the book an added layer of depth and danger, not to mention you're actively wondering what will happen to Prof--and you can't help wondering where Megan fits in to the grand scheme of things.
Is she good? Is she bad? And what will happen when Prof finds out that she's back?
Granted, I couldn't help equating some of the drama to a soap opera; however I enjoyed the novel overall. I was also excited to learn more about Megan's powers and I was floored by the truth about Calamity. Megan is incredible, by the way, but the "star" is still a bit of a mystery. I won't say anymore, of course, for fear of spoilers.
Just know that Megan's powers are not what they seem and Calamity has a cause.

The Bad
I really enjoyed Firefight, don't get me wrong, but I really thought it had too much going on at once. It's almost overwhelming the intensity of the action, how they never seem to catch a break. It's just one fight after another after another, and it's packed with plot twists that made my head spin.
It's good, I won't deny it; however, it just has a little too much happening.

The Ugly
Death. Gore. Violence.
The usual.
