Instead you're left with a mostly satisfying plot resolution, but an entire list of questions that are never actually answered. This is a standalone trilogy not set in Brandon's Cosmere, so I expected the end to be wrapped up neatly. Unfortunately the end of this book (which is also the end of the trilogy) felt rushed (not pacing-wise, but development-wise) and failed to answer several fundamental questions about Calamity and the Epics. Even though it's marketed as YA I thoroughly enjoy it as an adult it's "lighter" than Brandon's other fantasy, but still written intelligently with an engaging, generally well-paced plot and action and fantastic world building. As a whole the trilogy is great, and the first 75% of this book is great. If you've read the first two Reckoners books you're going to read this one anyway, and you won't regret it.
