Read the final book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Reckoners series by worldwide bestselling author Brandon Sanderson!
When Calamity lit up the sky, the Epics were born. David’s fate has been tied to their villainy ever since that historic night. Steelheart killed his father. Firefight stole his heart. And now Regalia has turned Prof, his closest ally, into a dangerous enemy.
David knew Prof’s secret, and kept it even when Prof struggled to control the effects of his Epic powers. But facing Obliteration in Babilar was too much. Once the Reckoners’ leader, Prof has now embraced his Epic destiny. He’s disappeared into those murky shadows of menace Epics are infamous for the world over, and everyone knows there’s no turning back. . . .
But everyone is wrong. Redemption is possible for Epics—Megan proved it. They’re not lost. Not completely. And David is just about crazy enough to face down the most powerful High Epic of all to get his friend back. Or die trying.
Praise for the Reckoners series:
#1 New York Times Bestselling Series
“Another win for Sanderson . . . he’s simply a brilliant writer. Period.” —Patrick Rothfuss, author of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller The Name of the Wind
“Action-packed.” —EW.com
“Compelling. . . . Sanderson uses plot twists that he teases enough for readers to pick up on to distract from the more dramatic reveals he has in store.” —The A.V. Club
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.
