Lux es una novela de Reckoners de cabo a rabo. Funciona muy bien, aunque en algunos momentos el ritmo me ha cogeado, pero creo que eso es más cosa mía y de mi estrés que de la novela en sí. Steven Bohls hace un trabajo genial y junto a Brandon han creado una historia que expande la trilogía original y que nos presenta Épicos tan molones como Lifeforce, un muy buen villano. Además la novela está llena de guiños a Steelheart y las otras novelas. Deseando poder seguir con estos audiolibros.

Narration 🙄 = Excellent…but Should’ve Had Additional Narrators for All POVs ➙ Narrated by 🎙️Macloed Andrews
Lux is the new Reckoner’s book that I didn’t know I needed and it’s only available as an Audible Original. Which I’m sure will keep some people from experiencing this…and that kind of sucks because I think this is the best Reckoners book since Steelheart. Of course, I don’t believe that a lot of other listeners feel this way…so take that as you will…I thought Firefight and Calamity were slow-moving and others thought this book was, so go figure.
I personally didn’t notice a difference in the writing with the addition of another author…other than it was less boring than both Firefight and Calamity. So, I have to say that Steven Michael Bohls was a win for me. I did notice that this was either a hit or miss for most listeners. I’m firmly in the hit crowd. My biggest issue was that Audible didn’t add more narrators for the different POVs.

Sanderson has jumped the shark with this one. He should have left it at the original trilogy. This Texas version is just more of the same, though now without the likable cast and with over-the-top epics and truly over-the-top super skills from the human Reckoners.
Not a lot of this made sense and for the first time really has damped my desire to read a series. I don't think I will read the rest of the Texas Reckoners series.

After spending so much time away from the world of the reckoners, I was surprised at how quickly I fell back into the universe and how much I’d actually missed it. Instead focusing on the Texas group of reckoners, Lux follows a whole new cast of characters, with a few from the original trilogy making appearances, as they too face off the all-powerful super humans known as epics. I think one of my favourite aspects of the story was how flashbacks were utilised in providing character development and juxtaposition to events happening in the current day storyline. Jax was a good protagonist to follow, as he didn’t feel 1 dimensional and also was very likeable and somebody good to root for. Weirdly, some of my favourite other characters were the epics themselves, especially wingflare and Lifeforce, which regardless of just their immense powers, felt like fully fleshed out antagonists, with valid reasons behind their evil acts. I loved how the story was happening simultaneously to the events in the original reckoners series, and how after reading the epilogue, there for definite will be further books following the Texas reckoners too. An all round impressive book, with great characters and plot line, set within a world where the horrors of humanity are explored through the way in which humans would respond to being gifted immense powers.
