I can only hope we’ll be getting more stories in this world eventually. My love for Steelheart manifested quickly, and the two sequels did nothing but enhance that feeling. (The one downside to listening to an audiobook is that you can’t skip ahead faster to see what happens, but perhaps this is for the best.) This book is about strength of character, love, friendship, humanity, finding beauty in the smallest details, and faith, and each one of those aspects meld together to form a larger picture and a larger solution. It was full of ridiculous humor thanks to David’s peculiar personality, but that was balanced by incredible fight sequences which had me holding my breath while they played out in my mind. In the end, Calamity is everything I was hoping it would be. He’s also narrated the first two books, so if you’re one for consistency, you’ve got it here. At nearly 12 hours in length, this is a (metaphorically) hefty one to pick up, but well worth the read. They truly come alive when he reads them, and each one sounds different, their personality bleeding through their dialogue more so than if you were just reading what they were saying. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on the Audible version of this book, read by MacLeod Andrews, who does an incredible job voicing all the different characters.
