Calamity Book Review

Calamity (The Reckoners) - Brandon Sanderson

I listened to the first two books and I think it makes a huge difference in my reviews. I really love the narrator. But having read this one I felt a bit underwhelmed and didn't really love the ending. But my biggest complaint about this series is that there is way too much dialogue throughout. 

 

Prof is an evil epic, his powers over taking him. David and the Reckoners have to stop him. But without killing him. Megan's powers are hard to control, David wants to learn the truth about his destiny and what happened to the rest of the world. Will he survive the final battle? Will his friends make it? Can they save Prof?

 

David uses too many analogies and metaphors. I actually got really annoyed with him in Calamity that I found myself skimming most of his thoughts. Because they really weren't moving the story along most of the time. 

 

Overall, I really enjoyed this series. It's my first of Brandon Sanderson and I plan to read his Mistborn series at some point.
