A new team of Reckoners must infiltrate the flying city of Lux to take down the Epic Lifeforce in this audio-exclusive novel from Brandon Sanderson, the best-selling author of the "Stormlight Archive" and "Mistborn" series, and co-author Steven Michael Bohls. When the great red star Calamity appeared in the sky, some believed the end had come. They were right. Calamity created the Epics: humans with incredible powers they didn't deserve.

Jax has learned all of this the hard way. Orphaned at an early age, he's spent most of his childhood training to be a Reckoner - determined to find the Epics' weaknesses, unlock their secrets, and protect those of us who are still left. But now, the mysterious High Epic Lifeforce has arrived with his flying city, Lux, to plunder what's left of Texas.

Rating: 3.5
A new Reckoner's novel, with a whole brand new set of Reckoners down in Texas. I definitely wasn't sure what to expect when I went into this novel. I loved the new set of people, and it was nice not to have the overblown metaphors being used by our main character from the first trilogy. I definitely squealed at the first appearance of Prof, references to the main Reckoners crew, and then definitely when Calamity vanished (telling us exactly where in the timeline everything matched up to).
I'm not sure how I feel aboutthe girl having the problem in her head again, because that felt way too much like it was paralleling our last trilogy, so I'm hoping show more this goes a whole new way, given the voice is some other kind of presence. Just #LetTheGirlRescueHerself #NotTheboy. show less
