Summary
From the bestselling author of the Mistborn series and Words of Radiance comes Calamity， the final book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Reckoners series: Steelheart， Firefight， and Calamity。
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 Prof struggled to control the effects of his Epic powers。 But facing Obliteration in Babilar was too much。 Once the Reckoners’ leader， 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。

Calamity is brutal world building！ Things are on an epic level from the start！ The Reckoners etc take on the epic！ Full of twists and turns you won't see coming！ David and Megans interactions， The Reckoners and Epics action make for a plotlines that are fluid and keep you geussing from the start！ At the same the world building is up there！ Characters are developed and new characters new characters introduced like， Larcener， Obliteration etc！ Edge of the seat from the beginning and the plot twist Calamity is brutal world building！ Things are on an epic level from the start！ The Reckoners etc take on the epic！ Full of twists and turns you won't see coming！ David and Megans interactions， The Reckoners and Epics action make for a plotlines that are fluid and keep you geussing from the start！ At the same the world building is up there！ Characters are developed and new characters new characters introduced like， Larcener， Obliteration etc！ Edge of the seat from the beginning and the plot twists You will be up late seeing how things go！Crisp High Five！ Brilliant and Highly Recommended！ Get it When You Can！ :D 。。。more

Brandon Sanderson always delivers at the end。 I enjoyed this more than the middle book。

Eis que cheguei ao fim desta trilogia que me pegou de jeito。 A Trilogia Executores para quem não leu as resenhas anteriores conta a história de um grupo de pessoas que se juntam para tentar vencer os Épicos。 Épicos eram cidadãos comuns que de um dia para outro apareceram com poderes。 O problema é que estes poderes os corromperam， e o mundo virou um caos， onde as pessoas comuns eram obrigadas a obedecerem aos Épicos。 Os Épicos são uma espécie de X-Men para entenderem melhor， só que todos são vilõ Eis que cheguei ao fim desta trilogia que me pegou de jeito。 A Trilogia Executores para quem não leu as resenhas anteriores conta a história de um grupo de pessoas que se juntam para tentar vencer os Épicos。 Épicos eram cidadãos comuns que de um dia para outro apareceram com poderes。 O problema é que estes poderes os corromperam， e o mundo virou um caos， onde as pessoas comuns eram obrigadas a obedecerem aos Épicos。 Os Épicos são uma espécie de X-Men para entenderem melhor， só que todos são vilões。 Ou assim imaginamos。。。Neste último volume， os Executores estão tentando resgatar seu fundador， “Professor”， da loucura de seu poder。 As últimas descobertas os levam a acreditar que os Épicos são vítimas de seus próprios poderes， e que para dominá-los é preciso enfrentar os próprios pontos fracos。 Mas como descobrir qual o ponto fraco de um dos Épicos mais poderosos do mundo e que está querendo destruir todos os Executores？ Uma missão bem suicida que todos acabam abraçando。Agora que David está no comando dos Executores， ele precisa ser mais cauteloso。 Seus últimos planos mostraram que existe algum furo na sua teoria。 E pior， ele quase perdeu Megan， que tentando salvar a todos foi dominada mais uma vez pelos próprios poderes que pensava já estarem dominados。 Ele próprio precisa entender o que está acontecendo com ele e o que seus sonhos significam。A resposta para resgatar o Professor de si mesmo e conseguir salvar o mundo parece estar em outra dimensão。 Uma dimensão que Megan está aprendendo a mexer e que se mostrou muito útil na luta contra os Épicos。 A mesma que quase causou sua morte。A luta final está marcada。 Não há mais tempo para ensaios ou teorias。 Épicos x Executores。 A fé e a coragem de uns pode ser a diferença para todo o planeta。 Em um mundo onde os vilões e os mocinhos transitam no limite entre um e outro， só há uma coisa certa nisso tudo， agora é vencer ou morrer。Adorei esta trilogia e consigo imaginá-la perfeitamente nas telonas。 Para quem curte uma distopia e sci-fi esta trilogia é super indicada。 。。。more

--- ☆☆ ---Can't exactly say where this book lost me， but at the end I was so tired I became indifferent。 Hence， it took me forever to finish this book。 I felt this last installment very slow and with a lot of uninteresting descriptions about weapons and gadgets。 The ending was also too abrupt for me。Sad to say， this is the first Sanderson book I did not enjoy。 But perhaps that's more my fault than his， having read them too quickly， and considering I'm not part of the target demographic。 --- ☆☆ ---Can't exactly say where this book lost me， but at the end I was so tired I became indifferent。 Hence， it took me forever to finish this book。 I felt this last installment very slow and with a lot of uninteresting descriptions about weapons and gadgets。 The ending was also too abrupt for me。Sad to say， this is the first Sanderson book I did not enjoy。 But perhaps that's more my fault than his， having read them too quickly， and considering I'm not part of the target demographic。 。。。more

3。5/5This series was crazy。 I loved the dystopian setting， （ wow I never thought I would say that） and the characters。 I will defiantly remember David for his bad metaphors。 That has to be the most interesting characteristic I've ever read。 When it came to the plot I felt like it was slow in some places。 I enjoyed having a new setting in each book， going from Chicago to New York to。。 Mississippi？ I left like the villain wasn't as intimidatingly as other books。 The relationship between Megan and 3。5/5This series was crazy。 I loved the dystopian setting， （ wow I never thought I would say that） and the characters。 I will defiantly remember David for his bad metaphors。 That has to be the most interesting characteristic I've ever read。 When it came to the plot I felt like it was slow in some places。 I enjoyed having a new setting in each book， going from Chicago to New York to。。 Mississippi？ I left like the villain wasn't as intimidatingly as other books。 The relationship between Megan and David was hard to make out。 I wish they had more time， just being them， then having the plot put them together because it was centered around the problem and not each other。 。。。more

A thoroughly enjoyable way to finish the series。 I think I enjoyed this series more than any other Brandon Sanderson one， which is certainly saying something。 Like the other books in the series there is a lot of action and humor。 I do wish he had dragged it out into a five or six book series though。

I was storm between giving this 4 and 5 stars。 I feel that this whole thing has been on the older cusp of YA but it never really felt like YA until the last few chapters of closing this thing out。 However， I’m not going to hold that against Sanderson for an overwhelming great story。 Highly recommend。

Well， I finished another Sanderson trilogy。 I had so much fun with this book and I like how I could never really nail down what was going to happen。 David is our main character and we've followed him through all 3 books。 He continues to say that he's missing something about putting all the information together， and just that one little hint throughout the books just kept me guessing。 It almost felt like a mystery as well as a fantasy book。 I can't say what happens， but they are figuring out who Well， I finished another Sanderson trilogy。 I had so much fun with this book and I like how I could never really nail down what was going to happen。 David is our main character and we've followed him through all 3 books。 He continues to say that he's missing something about putting all the information together， and just that one little hint throughout the books just kept me guessing。 It almost felt like a mystery as well as a fantasy book。 I can't say what happens， but they are figuring out who Calamity is and how to deal with Calamity。 It's just so interesting and I really enjoyed the way the series went。 。。。more

Finished well。 The series is a very Brandon Sanderson-y take on Super Heroes。 Good read for adults， in case you're worried its too geared for kids。 Finished well。 The series is a very Brandon Sanderson-y take on Super Heroes。 Good read for adults， in case you're worried its too geared for kids。 。。。more

y Babilar era una luz de esperanza para una vida común entre Épicos pero con un tono sombrío en el fondo， Ildithia vive， se mueve y respira。 Cuando leí el concepto de un Épico con poderes para "manipular la formación de sustancias cristalinas， como la sal"， no hice cuadrar de inmediato lo que esto significaba cuando mencionaban que Ildithia era una ciudad de sal。 Luego la describieron y tuve que detenerme a analizarlo。 Era genial。 Y no solamente por esta mecánica de una ciudad que se derrumba y reconstruye a sí misma mientras los habitantes deben adaptarse y mudarse de vuelta de un lado de la ciudad al otro， también por la lógica que tiene que en esta ciudad en particular， sus Épicos al mando sean los que son。 Una ciudad en movimiento necesita de una fuente segura de alimento， así que ahí está Stormwind para acelerar el proceso。 También， para las constantes mudanzas， debe haber una forma de que la mudanza y movilización constante de equipo de los Épicos sea grata， así que ahí tienes a Loophole con su poder para manipular el tamaño de las cosas y personas。 Todo tiene mucho sentido y se siente orgánico， no dejará nunca de sorprenderme la capacidad de Sanderson para hacer que sus mundos se sientan lógicos。Por último necesito hablar de la historia。 Esto es lo único que creo se sale un poco de lo que normalmente Sanderson hace en sus novelas de fantasía， y se debe a que el ritmo en el final está。。。 De nuevo， un poco extraño。 De forma diametralmente opuesta a Firefight， que tiene un final anticlimático y poco cerrado， aquí todo es demasiado explosivo demasiado rápido。 Si bien el enfrentamiento final contra Phaedrus se siente explosivo， desenfrenado y espléndido， en menos de cincuenta páginas después de que esto concluye ocurre la revelación de Calamity y todo cierra en un acelerón final que no me vi venir， y lamentablemente， no se siente merecido。 Obliteration pasa de considerar a David como un sujeto que podría compartir sus ideales， aunque no sus medios， a confiar ciegamente en que es el salvador del mundo。 Larcener pasa de ser precavido frente a los Reckoners a revelar su identidad totalmente。 El Profesor enfrenta total y absolutamente sus miedos FUERA DE ESCENA， mientras que ese ha sido todo el arco de Megan durante todo el libro。 Ninguno de estos problemas （excepto el último， que me parece ridículo） son demasiado duros como para que se hagan insufribles， pero entre todos juntos son una leve molestia que no puedo dejar pasar。¿Qué más puedo decir？ Lo mismo que en los otros libros。 Es una novela muy rápida y frenética， cargada de acción muy emocionante y llena de escenas épicas y memorables。 Los personajes vuelven a brillar por sus mentes en esta entrega final， el lugar en el que se desarrolla la historia es increíble y el cierre， si bien acelerado， a un nivel narrativo es satisfactorio。 Más o menos。 Estuvo cerca de ser muchísimo mejor que Steelheart， ya que desarrolla más a todos sus personajes y la trama tiene más peso， pero ese final lo deja como solamente un libro algo superior a su primera parte。 Un más que sólido 4/5， fue un buen viaje y no me arrepiento de haberme atrevido a leer una faceta menos conocida de Sanderson。 。。。more

Not up to par with the previous two books。 Sloppy plotting in the first half。 Messy wrap-up in the second。 Weak execution overall。Discussions that a serious team would have had days or even weeks ago are left to the last minute。 A main villain walks into their lair and gets accepted in a few sentences。 Megan who was a femme fatale specialising in sexual honey traps when she was first introduced in book one are not even considered for that now even though lots of the epic side kicks in this book Not up to par with the previous two books。 Sloppy plotting in the first half。 Messy wrap-up in the second。 Weak execution overall。Discussions that a serious team would have had days or even weeks ago are left to the last minute。 A main villain walks into their lair and gets accepted in a few sentences。 Megan who was a femme fatale specialising in sexual honey traps when she was first introduced in book one are not even considered for that now even though lots of the epic side kicks in this book are teenage boys。But the thing that bugged me most of all was how the epic Loophole had sneezing as her unexplained weekness， and died because of that after much too much of the book had spent pages upon pages building up the explaining that an epic´s weakness was always something they were afraid of and had horrible nightmares about。Who the hell has horrible nightmares about sneezing？ And how does that come about as a persons main fear？ 。。。more
