Calamity

A disappointing end to an otherwise fantastic story.

I never get the sense that David is in danger, and the way he deals with Calamity feels contrived. I feel almost cheated because Sanderson spent a large portion of the last book and the entirety of this one building up Calamity to be a huge enemy and the biggest battle the Reckoners will ever fight, and then David is able to send him off in a matter of minutes without a fight.

The most frustrating part of Calamity, however, is the epilogue. Somehow, after all of the events we've witnessed, everything turns out okay in a “happily ever after” sort of way.

I was very excited for this book, and the first 80% was fantastic. Unfortunately, Sanderson ended the series leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
