A new team of Reckoners must infiltrate the flying city of Lux to take down the Epic Lifeforce in this audio-exclusive novel from Brandon Sanderson, the best-selling author of the "Stormlight Archive" and "Mistborn" series, and co-author Steven Michael Bohls.
When the great red star Calamity appeared in the sky, some believed the end had come. They were right.
Calamity created the Epics: humans with incredible powers they didn't deserve.
They could have saved mankind. They could have lifted us into harmony and prosperity. Instead they burned. They slaughtered. They conquered. And then they ruled.
Jax has learned all of this the hard way. Orphaned at an early age, he's spent most of his childhood training to be a Reckoner - determined to find the Epics' weaknesses, unlock their secrets, and protect those of us who are still left.
But now, the mysterious High Epic Lifeforce has arrived with his flying city, Lux, to plunder what's left of Texas. So Jax and his ragtag team - the few who remain of the once-mighty Texas Reckoners - must take their battle to this floating fortress of riches - and defeat the invincible.
To avenge what has been lost. And rise anew.

For a comparison, I do not like the Stormlight voices, and my previous favorite narrated book was Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary, narrated by Ray Porter. That one’s also really good, except for getting the Dutch accent wrong, and as most films making it German. So a close second, but MacLeod tops it with this one.

Still, its a good read. The narrator is fantastic and the story is still entertaining once you choose to stop caring about the slightly annoying things.
Decent listen.

This is a offshoot, thins are happening in parallel to the main series and i forgot most of the details.
This is best read immediately after Calamity to get the most out of it.
Ok but a little messy

Where the trilogy was marketed as young adult this one pretty much ditches the 'young'. It's not grimdark by any means but the overall tone is more serious and dire, and there's some truly disturbing stuff happening. Don't misunderstand, there's plenty of lighthearted moments as well.
The characters feel meatier and a bit more nuanced this time around. In the trilogy David's funny metaphors would sometimes take away from the suspense, and Cody's Scottish spiel got old really fast. And despite those admittedly small shortcomings I absolutely love the novels. Here, such character quirks are toned down.
One thing the original books did better was the thrilling heists. Recon, planning, execution of plan, execution of Epic. Here it's less helst and more desperate struggle and planning on the go. It works well but I can't help but miss the assassination plans. We do get some of it though.
There's a truly epic (heh) cliffhanger so I for one will buy the sequel as soon as it's released.
Darker, grittier, and almost better

If you’re new to Brandon Sandersons work… get ready for something epic!
Amazing as always and we’ll worth a listen!
