Title: Calamity
Author: Brandon Sanderson
Series: The Reckoners #3
Genre: Teen Fantasy
Release Date: February 16, 2016
The Overview: 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.

I am a HUGE Brandon Sanderson fan, having loved everything I’ve read by him so far (which at this point is almost everything he has published). The Reckoners series has been a lot of fun – easily one of his most charming/cheeky works to date – and I simply can’t get enough of David and his awful metaphors. The more I learned about how the magic works in this world, the more I want to know, and I am just dying to have my questions answered in this final book! This series is a lot of fun (did I say that already?) And it’s one of the few that I feel comfortable recommending to a wide spectrum of people. Basically, if you like superheroes and supervillains, humor, and great writing, you should probably add Steelheart to your TBR. ;)
What book are you waiting on?
This is one of my favorite series, so I can’t wait to read this. I hope we’ll both love it. Thanks for sharing, and happy Wednesday! :)

I am so excited for this book! And all of his books, for that matter? Did you all see that Steelheart now has a screenwriter attached to it? I’m nervous but hopeful for a film adaptation.

Yeah, anything Sanderson writes gets top priority for me :-) I remember seeing something about a screenwriter on one of his Facebook posts – gasp! THAT would be so cool if it were turned into a film. Fingers crossed they do a good job ha ha.

I think, of all his books, The Reckoners has the best chance of being done right as a film. It’s fairly straightforward, for Sanderson, and it’s full of great imagery and quote-able one liners. I’m pretty darn excited!

Me too! And that makes a lot of sense. Although I’d probably lose my mind if way of kings was ever tackled…

… I would cry. Both of reluctant joy and absolute despair. They’d have to do a TV series or something. Give it the Game of Thrones treatment.

I have not read any Brandon Sanderson books and by the looks of it, I am missing out. I need to just run to the bookstore and buy a crap ton of his books! Awesome post, Niki!

Thank you! And you haven’t read a Sanderson?! Totally missing out ;-) seriously though, if he’s not my favorite author he’s at least in my top three. I haven’t read a single thing that I didn’t love from him.
