This book was just fine. If you loved the original Reckoners series, then this is exactly what you'd want. To me it felt like more of the same, I felt like I had already read this story with Steelheart.

You could tell that this was supposed to be three novellas - first part was the best by far - started to lag in parts two and three. Potentially interesting characters that I felt don’t get explored enough, which leaves the ending feeling flat.

A very mixed bag, with some nice decent character work, intriguing plotting, fun use of Epic motivators, and unneeded tie-ins to the original trilogy.
This was at times both fun and engaging, but too long for its content, and slightly unnecessary for the Reckoners series, even seemingly retconning some details.

So… it was an interesting listen. The way it fit in (or didn’t) with the main series was fine. The MC read like a slightly different version of David from the main books. But with better tech and assassin skills?
Some of the details about Epic… stuff… seemed taken for granted in this story. Like Epic weaknesses, etc.
Overall, it was an interesting listen but isn’t my fave of the series at all. Well, it might be as good as Calamity or close to it. But if they do another one I’d listen.

I feel like I would have enjoyed it more reading it, but even audio only, you can't keep Brandon down!

Fiction Bingo Board ~ A book set in your home state
Rating: 3.5
A new Reckoner's novel, with a whole brand new set of Reckoners down in Texas. I definitely wasn't sure what to expect when I went into this novel. I loved the new set of people, and it was nice not to have the overblown metaphors being used by our main character from the first trilogy. I definitely squealed at the first appearance of Prof, references to the main Reckoners crew, and then definitely when Calamity vanished (telling us exactly where in the timeline everything matched up to).
