It is a Young Adult only because of the protagonist’s age. It is a superhuman story, but the characters have all lost their humanity. The post-apocalyptic twist makes the entire world unique and as fascinating as a new fantasy world. It is an Urban Fantasy only because it is set on Earth. Well to be clear the trifecta above is only technically true. Now when I consider those holistically it’s understandable why people looking for mainstream fantasy books with imaginary worlds, magical races, spells and curses thrown around may not really look at the series in detail. It’s (a) an Urban Fantasy, (b) A Superhuman story and (c) It’s Young Adult. It is my opinion that Reckoners suffers greatly from being at the crux of a trifecta of genres that fantasy readers may not think it’s up their alley. Note: The review covers the series generically in full rather than by individual books. Misborn & Stormlight deservedly have their place in the limelight for being a stunning set of books, but I do believe Reckoners deserves more recognition and is as good as any of the other series by Sanderson. I’ve noticed that in recent times whenever Brandon Sanderson books are discussed, Reckoners always seem to fly under the radar. * Mitosis is a side story set in world and best read in order after Steelheart This was a brilliant action-packed short story! It had everything packed into it that made Steelheart such a great book.Books in Series: Steelheart, Mitosis*, Firefight, Calamity Apart from being gloriously designed little package it also features an additional 40 pages from 'Firefight' which is arriving in about month's time.

If possible, I would also recommend that you get a Gollancz collector's hardcover.

If you enjoyed 'Steelheart' I would definitely suggest you track down a copy. A dynamic setting, compelling and flawed characters, enough plot twists to keep me guessing, and a fun, fast-paced reading experience * Book Side Kicks * Mitosis was everything I expected from such a powerhouse author. Sanderson has a precise way of writing, whether its his epic fantasy or in-your-face superhero fiction. If you are familiar with Sanderson's writing - be it The Way of Kings or his Mistborn series - then you are sure to know what to expect: brisk, engaging and professional storytelling * Civilian Reader *
