A world dominated by Epics, those with supernatural powers used only for evil doing, with no superheroes to the rescue, the Reckoners are all there is to bring right to what is wrong. A clever idea by Sanderson, no surprise at all. I don't stray, as of late, much into young adult literature, with a history of this love/hate relationship with it. Only an author like Sanderson would I make an exception for. And while many of the colorings seen across the board in YA stories were found here, the story overall is a nice escape into funville, with a touch of Watchmen, X-Men and evil Superman to dominate the world. If you're looking for something light and fun, this is it.
