Review of 'Calamity' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

You want to fight a god? You'd better have one on your side too.

Two books of set up and now the final match was ready to go down. The Reckoners series has been enjoyable but not my favorite Sanderson series, but it still entertained and held my attention.

This book flew by but I don't know where the time went. Outside of the Nighthawk charge in the beginning, the battle at Sharp Tower and the Calamity climax I wasn't sure where the rest of the story went but it came and went.

In a classic Sanderson twist there were a few surprises pulled out in the end. I was watching my progress and when there was 20% of the book remaining and there was so much left to do I felt like The Deathly Hallows all over again, our heroes were failing at finding Horcuxes, pages were flying by and no progress was being made.

The book had some classic David phrases, some back story on the characters and a look in to how Epic derived technology is created. I really liked the use of Megan's multi-verse and as abrupt as the ending was I was satisfied with it.
