Firefight

The second installment in Brandon Sanderson's The Reckoners series, Firefight follows David Alaya as he continues his guerrilla war against the Crude, a group of superhumans who have corrupted their powers to commit atrocities. Set in a flooded New York City, the narrative shifts from the initial shock of the first book to a sustained, high-stakes conflict where David and his allies must adapt to the evolving tactics of their enemies. The story explores the moral complexities of fighting a war against individuals who possess god-like abilities, forcing David to rely on strategy, technology, and the support of his team rather than raw power alone.
