Steelheart

The concept of Epics having different abilities made me wonder how much of their powers were shaped by the story's themes. Did the author draw from existing myths or create these from scratch?

The story ramps up tension constantly, but it sometimes felt like it was rushing through pivotal moments. Was that a deliberate pacing choice or just how the story evolved?

The line between hero and villain is blurred here, which made me think about how power shapes morality. How do others interpret the author's take on good versus evil?
