Sanderson reckoners5/9/2023 What’s that old adage, “Absolute power corrupts absolutely”. Overall the approach works, but due to the whimsical and flamboyant pseudonyms they take for themselves I found it a little hard to take them seriously, even when death and destruction follow in their wake. We have fantastical groups of villains, though once human have been granted a cornucopia of staggering abilities and instead of benefiting human kind decide to rule it. This is neither a good or bad thing but should be taken up on it own merits. The best way I can description the world Sanderson is laying out for us is a bastardised smash up of Watchmen and Superman’s DC Universe. Is it a bird? Is it a Plane? Is it a 1990’s Rock band? No, its tyrannical super-human dictator, hell bent of crushing the will of the masses! Ridiculous name and all.
