The sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling novel Firefight
From the bestselling author of the Mistborn series and Words of Radiance comes Calamity, the final book in the New York Times bestselling Reckoners series. What started in the instant #1 New York Times bestseller Steelheart and continued in the instant #1 New York Times bestseller Firefight now concludes in Calamity.
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 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.

Great book with lukewarm conclusion If you’ve read the first two Reckoners books you’re going to read this one anyway, and you won’t regret it. As a whole the trilogy is great, and the first 75% of this book is great. Even though it’s marketed as YA I thoroughly enjoy it as an adult; it’s “lighter” than Brandon’s other fantasy, but still written intelligently with an engaging, generally well-paced plot and action and fantastic world building.Â
Yes, Yes, Yes! Everything I had personally hoped– and more! Yesterday, when “Calamity” arrived in the mail I promised myself that I would be in control and only read it after I finished my work and school assignments however as soon as I picked it up to “read just a few pages” I knew that I had made a fickle promise that couldn’t be kept.Â
