Lux

A Texas Reckoners Novel

By: Brandon Sanderson, Steven Michael Bohls

Narrated by: MacLeod Andrews

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.

As usual a spectacular novel narrated wonderfuly

Loved this book, Sanderson is my favorite author and rarely disappoints, I read steelheart, firefight and calamity as a kid (I skipped mitosis sry Mr Sanderson) and this new addition brings just as much joy to my adult self as it did to the kid I once was, thank you Brandon Sanderson and all contributing influences for fostering my love of reading my entire life.

Welcome back to the Reckoning!

Obviously if Brandon Sanderson touched it then strap in for a ride! He also had a co-author and from what I can see Steven Michael Bohls was outstanding. As usual, Macleod Andrews was impeccable with the narration. So dive in with zero hesitation fellow needs!

Fantastic writing. Amazing characters. Incredible narration. Epic book!

Different, but delicious!

This is a fantastic addition to the Reckoners series. While not quite as good as Steelheart, and the characters aren't quite as crisp as the prior series, if you liked Sanderson's previous work you'll love this. There is more violence in this book and a fair bit of gore toward the end of the story, so while it may be part of a Young Adult series, it may not be suited toward those who are quite young.

Additionally, some helpful non-spoiler information:

1) This book is set during the same time as the previous Reckoners book.
2) Most of the characters are new, but there are a few "guest appearances" that work very well.
3) The characters are nearly as enjoyable as the first series, but very different. This is no simple rehashing of the characters under different names.

Sparking Amazing

Brandon did it again y’all! Another perfectly crafted work of art… thank you to audible and all who made this one possible.

Great book

Book was just as good as the previous trilogy. Only thing I didn’t like was the Narrator not because he didn’t do a good job MacLeod Andrews did great. My issue was the fact that it was a different story with completely different characters and the main character Jax had the exact same voice as the Main character from the previous three David. So i just keep thinking David was talking and it was Jax. Its kind of like the reverse of changing a narrator half way through the series where all the characters sound different and it throws you off except in this case all the new characters sound the same as the old and it throws you off.

Classic Sanderson

Loved it. Spectacular reading by Andrews! Got a little confusing 2/3 of the way but it ended really strong. Looking forward to the sequel.

Lux Reckoners Excellent

The problem with Sanderson’s work is that there is not enough of it. You can read all of it, and devour the most recent work with great pleasure, and she will walk away from the table hungry for more.

Delightful, intriguing, gripping story superbly read. Great fun, great depth.

I can’t reasonably complain that Sanderson doesn’t write enough. I’m so glad he does it. And my wife, and my kids, and my Inlaw kids, and my nephews and nieces, literate friends, etc. His books are the best gifts ever. This one joins the pantheon, it’s great. Thanks Sanderson. Well done.

It’s so Good

If you have listened to the other ones it’s just as good. Just Trust Me! Lol

phenomenal

it is impossible to listen to a Branden sanderson book and not love every minute of it

A good addition to the universe

While it didn’t have the same feel as the other Reckoners novels, it worked for me. I’m looking forward to the possibility of additional novels in this series.
