2.5/5 - I was excited to head back into the Reckoners universe, but this one didn’t quite live up to expectations. The first third and last third were good, but the middle really drags. The ending is excellent, but it falls flat without the context of what happened in ‘Calamity’.
I’d definitely be interested in more Reckoners and this one definitely hints at future sequels, so we’ll see!

I was very excited to learn of this novel. I loved The Reckoners and wanted (and still want) to learn more about this universe after the trilogy had finished. So I was very interested in this audio book. After adjusting to characters, it turned into a pretty good book. There are some classic Sanderson characterizations and lines, and it was great learning about other Epics. The only thing I'm less excited about is the ending. The ending of the original trilogy was good, and I don't really like how the ending of Lux sets the scene for another kind of evil.... inside Paige, too, which I felt was a little cheap. I could happily read a few more books about other Reckoners, though!

This was a really fun spin off from the Reckoners. I like this new cast of characters, I like the scientific aspect, I like the mystery ending. I think it was really cool. The pacing was a little weird for me, and I don't think I loved the multi-POV, but I had a great time.
Officially a 4.5 rating. I thought this was fun and I loved the behind the scenes story while the Steelheart books happened at the same time.

I didn't love the original Reckoners series. But I really enjoyed Lux - I think it's my favorite book in the Reckoners universe.
This book was awful. It basically was a poorly written fan fiction full of plot holes, plot armor, inconsistencies, and inaccuracies. I’d hope that Brandon Sanderson is ashamed to even have his name on this book. I gave it the extra star above 1 only because it was still somewhat fun to read more in the Reckoners world, and the story could have been good if it was written by Brandon himself instead of the other guy.
I could never get into the reckoners series, but this was amazing! Fantastic characters, great narration, and a story that made me eager to see more in this series.
