Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #90: Steelheart - "This does not spark joy!"

The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies

#SteelheartSpoilers

The SICS crew is taking a brief break from the Cosmere to discuss one of Brandon Sanderson's non-Cosmere works. What if super powers were real? What if one day, suddenly, many people unexpectedly developed superpowers? Now, what if they were all evil?

Welcome to Newcago, a post-apocalyptic, dystopian version of Chicago in this bleak world.

For this episode, Bill, Amy, and Jordan discuss Steelheart, one of Brandon's Young Adult ventures that appeals to readers of all ages. Sparks, it's gonna be fun!
