Calamity (Reckoners, #3)

by Brandon Sanderson

Pedro Jorge Romero (Translator)

Calamity es el tercer volumen de la elogiada «Trilogía de los Reckoners» de Brandon Sanderson, el autor de fantasía épica que más lectores está ganado en todo el mundo y que ya se ha convertido en el futuro heredero del trono de todo un género.

Los Épicos nacieron cuando Calamity iluminó los cielos.

Desde esa noche histórica, el destino de David ha estado entrelazado con el de esos malvados.

Steelherat asesinó a su padre. Firefight le robó el corazón. Y ahora Regalia ha convertido a su mayor aliado en un peligroso enemigo.

David conocía el secreto del Profesor. Secreto que guardó incluso cuando el Profesor se esforzaba por controlar los efectos de sus poderes épicos. Pero no pudo superar enfrentarse a Obliterarion en Babilar.

El Profesor, que fue líder de los Reckoners, se ha entregado totalmente a su destino de Épico. Se ha hundido en esas tenebrosas sombras de violencia propias de los Épicos. Y todos saben que de las sombras no se vuelve...

Pero todos se equivocan.

Es posible redimir a los Épicos. Megan ya lo demostró. No todo está perdido. Al menos, no definitivamente.

Y David está lo bastante loco como para enfrentarse al Gran Épico más poderoso de la historia con tal de recuperar a su amigo. O morir en el intento.

SPOILER (read at your own risk)


This finale seems like a stage for Reckoners Season 2 (just like Mistborn). Though the twists and reveals at the end shocked me, it still felt lacking. I mean, there are still things that need to be tied up. I'm not even looking for unicorns-and-butterflies kind of ending but I still have some questions regarding Knighthawk and his wife, how David became Steelheart (I'm still trying to wrap my mind around that fact because in Firefight, David's Epic powers were related to water) or how was it that his father was Steelheart in the other reality? I might still have to re-read this book because I might be missing something.

But overall, Calamity was a good read and the journey had been a wonderful bliss. The parallel universes and how Sanderson managed to make it comprehensible was mind blowing.
