One result of its appearance is that ordinary humans gain epic powers of varying flavors (and intensities). This all happens when a red “star” appears in the sky, commonly called Calamity. The United States has fractured, millions of people are dead, and society is forever changed. In a way, the series is a post-apocalyptic story. So there will be a few spoilers in this review, but mainly of plot points (rather than resolutions). Spoiler warning: While I am going to refrain from sharing any major plot resolutions, I can’t talk about the overall story without talking about some elements. They can be read alone, but I highly recommend reading them all and in order. The Reckoners series consists of three novels and one short story, in this order: But the Reckoners is a series that is one in-depth story divided up into 3 (and a half) parts. Many series are stand-alone stories connected by a thread or two. Because while each book could certainly be reviewed on its own, the Reckoners is actually a series in the most traditional sense. In the case of the Reckoners, by Brandon Sanderson, I decided to review the entire series instead. Normally, when I review books in a series, I do it individually, reviewing one book (or more) as a stand-alone.
