I had predicated several parts of the ending, but not the entire ending. The characters could have been so much more interesting than the two-note characters they actually were. However, I wish his character, and others, had been fleshed out. The Reckoner crew was fun, and I enjoyed the fact that there was a Black French-Canadian man on the crew.
No other character in the novel is as well developed as him. He felt genuine and his many attempts at metaphors were hilarious. The Good The main character, David, was fun. Finally, as I’ve already mentioned, the pacing was not great. At times it felt like every fifth word was one of these two words. The characters don’t use modern swear words, instead they swear with works like “sparks,” and “calamity.” This would have been fun it wasn’t such overkill. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I had hope for a more original storyline.
The X-men (read Reckoners), led by Professor X (read The Professor), are going to take him on. For example, a bad Mutant (read Epic) named The Lord Ruler (read Steelheart) has conquered the world (read Chicago) and changed the environment by creating ash falls (read a steel landscape). There were also elements of Sanderson’s Mistborn novels in the story. My first big concern was that the story felt like an X-men story, but only the bad guys have mutant powers.
The Bad Starting with the parts that I didn’t like. It was at this point the story started to feel more like a YA novel. I almost quit it, but it started to pick up speed just past the halfway point. I felt the story was less YA and more middle grade. The story starts off quickly with a fast-paced prologue then grinds down to a halting pace. Sparks! Does David plan on fighting the Lord Ruler
