The Reckoning by Kayla Knue
4.0
Wow. This was an addictive read. I've seen The Reckoning compared to The Hunger Games, and in some aspects this holds true, but there is so much more to the story than that. I was struck by the contrasting character arcs of two of the main characters - as one rises, the other falls, and this was done beautifully. My heart is aching.
It's very hard for me to choose a favourite character. I loved Ki and his journey. Tyler is a wonderful character and I loved their interactions. She was like a ray of sunlight, and the revelations about her as the story progresses have me so excited for the next book! Harrison broke my heart... I have many thoughts and feelings, and I am so invested in him for the sequel too. I won't say anything else because of spoilers, but yes, very interested to see where the story takes him next...
Something that stood out to me about The Reckoning is how well the author balances an exciting plot (the Reckoning itself) with romantic relationships, personal realisations, traumatic experiences, and many other complex themes. I thought the plot and character development was weaved so well throughout the novel. I'm so interested to learn more about the conflict between the Darkbloods and the Lightbloods, and to see how the characters will take their places in the coming conflict.
