The weakest of the trilogy due to the rushed final stretch, still very good though.

Loads of unanswered questions, which will hopefully be addressed in the new trilogy (Apocalypse Guard). I enjoyed this book very much, but I can understand why many people dislike it.

The Reckoners series is by far my least favourite of Brandon's writing. Don't get me wrong, it's a very solid book but I feel, in part, that it didn't progress much. I did enjoy parts of it though.

4* Average throughout.

This book has a VERY slow beginning. This was my third attempt at getting through it. That being said, at a certain point the story picks up and gets really good. There’s a lot of things in it that make me scratch my head a bit and wonder if there’s an explanation that I missed somewhere, mostly near the end. Overall I love a lot of the answers given and I feel the story is reasonably resolved for my tastes. I do feel it is a good ending for the trilogy. Though I still don’t really like the main character or his love interest.

Classic Sanderson. I couldn't put it down after the midpoint. This book was action packed, but he decieved me. I thought for sure as I was looking at the percent remaining that the plots could not be tied up but he did it anyway.

[4.7] this book was amazing, but left me with some unanswered questions. Overall it had a driving plot and kept the reader on the edge of their seat, wanting to know what happens. The author makes a strong relationship between the reader and characters, making the reader feel connected to a character. This book has twists and heart wrenching scenes that also leave the reader with a view on how things aren't just black and white.
