trike's review against another edition
2.0
Weak ending to the trilogy with an open ending clearly designed with a sequel in mind. The first book was definitely the best of these three but I didn't hate it.

I'm still waiting for the day Michael Carroll will publish the (fifth but technically forth) book in the series for i still have questions unanswered !!!!!!!!!!!!
holtfan's review against another edition
Hmm, I dunno, I was kind of disapointed with this book. I mean, the writing is great and all, but I wasn't satisfied with the end. What was probably supposed to be a cliff-hanger left me with no inclination to find if there are other books.
What especially annoyed me was the whole "evil America" feel. I mean I know the author is European and probably has his own biases, fine, I know America isn't perfect, but I was disgusted how almost EVERY American in power was a major jerk.
Plus, the three main characters just kind of lost their charm. Diamond was totally my favorite character....and she was weak in this book. I can not believe what they did to her. Collin might have improved, but just slightly. It would have been much cooler if he could have broken the mind control by himself. Like by refusing to beat up Stephanie or something. Danny was just weak, and though I was expected all the "ex-supers" to do something, they didn't.
So...maybe giving a three is being generous.

This is the third book in the Quantum Prophecy series. Danny has lost his arm in battle and refuses to take a mechanical arm fearing the the prophecy will come true and he will lead an army that will destroy humanity. Colin has become so powerful that he feels the pressure of the survival of the world on his shoulders. Will his resentment lead him to the enemy? Will he help destroy the world. Read The Reckoning to find the answers. This is a great third book in this series, but at the end I was left wondering if there were more books in this series.

With the plot complications added in book two, and expanded on at the beginning of book three, I came away impressed by Carroll's ability to tie together all the various plot twists while still leaving one or two new ones for the next books in the series. I came away completely satisfied as a reader and awed as a writer. Action-packed, this novel still managed to give all four of the main characters growth and development. As a writer, I plan to read through this trilogy again to see how Carroll pulled it off, and as a reader, I want to read it again for the fun of it.

The new heroes have been thrust into the brink of a world war with the Trutopians. General Piers has assumed command of Sakkarra and the new heroes are no longer in control of their destiny, except one who has left and refuses to serve under a man such as Piers. Unfortunately this one hero is forced to choose between good and evil and the lines are blurred together. With the new heroes be able to stop an all out war that could kill millions and who will end up on which sides?
The Reckoning is an excellent third installment to the Quantum Prophecy series. There's tons of action and lots of twists and turns. The characters are really coming into their own and learning to use their powers especially our main three Colin, Danny, and Renata. They are presented with complex problems that dont always have a right answer and are forced to react. I love that they stand with their morals and do what they think is right, even if it makes for some tense and frustrating scenes. This is my favorite of the series so far and I can't wait to dig into the next book to find out what happens!

And the story arc finishes. Colin is on the run trying to find a role for himself and some peace. Renata and Danny are questioning the leadership and the Trutopians have some schemes they are trying to work out. As the book progresses you find that they all have flaws and all have motives and things are very complicated.
There are times when this book works well but there were also times when I was very lost and nearly lost my interest in the story and didn't care what happened next, as long as it was definitive. The bad guys were suitably bad but somewhat black and white, it did go a way to showing that sometimes the choice isn't between right and wrong but between wrong and wronger.
