Sanderson is known for his frequent short stories and experiments with novels, so we have hope that this will not be the end of theReckoners series. For now though, this created an excellent and tense conclusion to a remarkable fantasy series. * Starburst Magazine *
This is a story that will jump out the pages, leave your heart racing and completely pull you into that world. This is one adventure that you cannot miss. * Escapades of a Bookworm *
