Anyone responsible for this ongoing identity theft disserves him and dishonors his memory.

Not once in this entire series have I guessed a twist correctly, and Calamity was full of twists. I still found David annoying in places, especially in the beginning, but once again I was caught up in the world, setting, plot, and other characters. (Especially after listening to Sanderson’s story about where the premise for the series comes from.) ![]() I was therefore not exactly excited going into Calamity, fearing that it would have the same annoyances, even though I really wanted to see how the story ended. The setting and world-building was awesome, and I enjoyed the plot, but I found the narrator (David) downright irritating in ways that I hadn’t noticed at all throughout Steelheart. Then, it turned out, I didn’t really like the sequel. By the time I opened Firefight, I wasn’t nearly as excited for the sequel. However, it faded from my memory quickly – likely because it was a real page-turner and I read it super fast. ![]() ![]() When I initially read Steelheart, I adored it. I’ve had mixed feelings about this series. Let me start this review with my emotional/engagement thoughts. Calamity is the third in the Reckoners trilogy, following Steelheart and Firefight. I won’t give any summary here, so as not to give away any spoilers for this book/series. ![]() |
