A new team of Reckoners must infiltrate the flying city of Lux to take down the Epic Lifeforce in this audio-exclusive novel from Brandon Sanderson, the best-selling author of the "Stormlight Archive" and "Mistborn" series, and co-author Steven Michael Bohls.

When the great red star Calamity appeared in the sky, some believed the end had come. They were right.

Calamity created the Epics: humans with incredible powers they didn't deserve.

They could have saved mankind. They could have lifted us into harmony and prosperity. Instead they burned. They slaughtered. They conquered. And then they ruled.

Jax has learned all of this the hard way. Orphaned at an early age, he's spent most of his childhood training to be a Reckoner - determined to find the Epics' weaknesses, unlock their secrets, and protect those of us who are still left.

But now, the mysterious High Epic Lifeforce has arrived with his flying city, Lux, to plunder what's left of Texas. So Jax and his ragtag team - the few who remain of the once-mighty Texas Reckoners - must take their battle to this floating fortress of riches - and defeat the invincible.

To avenge what has been lost. And rise anew.

The longer I listened to this book, the more I realized how much I missed the series. Great for new fans and perfect for older fans, LUX has all the charisma, personality, and action that the original series had.

The story follows a new group of Reckoners as they take on the Epics who live in a floating city. The book takes its time developing the characters and their personalities, making each one real and someone to cheer for.

Jax has a great story arc. From a normal kid to a full fledged warrior, I loved his personality and the dialogues he had with others. This book truly shone when Jax interacted with the main villain, who was no laughing matter.

The action and plot were tight and thrilling. The dialogue was great and I loved the twists. This is a great audiobook for anyone who loves superheroes. It certainly helps that the narrator sounds remarkably like Chris Evans. The story ends on a cliffhanger, which means I am ready for more!

A Fun, Action-Packed Story

I held off reading this book because I thought it was the start of a new series, but a few years later that turns out not to be the case. There are no longer planned sequels for this novel.

In the story of Lux, Prof makes a brief appearance to help connect this book to the original series. The plot was nothing special, but the epics made for interesting characters. The story mostly takes place between books two and three of the original series, although there is a prequel chapter that sets up the first novel in the series.

What I enjoyed most about the book was the return of narrator McLeod Andrews. He is absolutely fantastic at reading male characters. He struggles with female characters, but there was only one female lead, so it didn’t negatively impact my enjoyment.

If you’re a big fan of The Reckoners series, you likely won’t want to miss this book.

McLead Andrews is Incredible

Good story, enjoyed it very much. Not sure how much was Sanderson and how much was Bohls, but the story was every bit as good as the first trilogy. Definitely recommend it for those who enjoyed the other reckoners books.

Loved it!
