Hey, guys! I little while ago, I read the first two books in the Reckoners series and really enjoyed them: Steelheart (book 1) and Firefight (book 2). I'd definitely recommend them, if you haven't' read them already. Calamity, the last book in the trilogy, was also great.

The Cover:
It shows the bright star that is Calamity over modern-day Atlanta, the setting of Calamity. It fits with the series's theme of an exploding circle, which I appreciate. A- cover
Official Description:
When Calamity lit up the sky, the Epics were born. David’s fate has been tied to their villainy ever since that historic night. Steelheart killed his father. Firefight stole his heart. And now Regalia has turned his closest ally into a dangerous enemy.
David knew Prof’s secret, and kept it even when the Reckoners’ leader struggled to control the effects of his Epic powers. But facing Obliteration in Babilar was too much. Prof has now embraced his Epic destiny. He’s disappeared into those murky shadows of menace Epics are infamous for the world over, and everyone knows there’s no turning back…
But everyone is wrong. Redemption is possible for Epics—Megan proved it. They’re not lost. Not completely. And David is just about crazy enough to face down the most powerful High Epic of all to get his friend back. Or die trying.
My Review:
I loved Calamity. It continued the drama of Firefight while also adding some new developments.
David is one of my favorite characters of all time. He is lovable, yet flawed. A really interesting character to read about. The supporter characters are also all well fleshed out. I enjoyed ready how they all developed in this book, as well as how their relationships changed.
The conclusion was satisfactory. It summed everything up very well, leaving me happy with both the ending and the lack of loose ends. While the final battle was a bit cheesy, the conclusion was fulfilling. It was definitely an interesting way to finish the series.
Overall, I'd recommend Calamity if you liked the previous books in this series. I thought it wasn't quite as good as Firefight but still really good. It's definitely worth reading!
