Calamity

TA-DA! With this book, I met my book reading goal for 2024! I have said before and I'll say again, the one thing the pandemic was good for was getting me back into the habit of reading.

Anyway! The book that tipped me over the edge was Calamity, which is the final book in the Reckoners trilogy. We listened to the first book as a family on vacation at some point, and over the last year E and I have been listening to the rest while getting in his driving hours. He got his liscense with an hour left to go in the last audio book, and we finally finished it up driving out and back for his senior pictures.

The series follows the Reckoners, a group of humans who are trying to fight entities known as Epics. Epics used to be normal humans until a mysterious event called the Calamity gave them powers and also inevitably turned them evil. In this third book we learn the truth about Calamity as the Reckoners try to find a solution to undo what has been done.

I found this whole series to be fun and enjoyable. It is pitched for a YA audience but I still found it fun and engaging, and there were a few twists at the end of this that I did not see coming. E and I both agreed that the ending was pretty satisfying. Good book, good series, would be a great read for younger readers who are into Marvel/comics/superhero type stuff.
