"I really enjoyed this final book. It ended exactly like I wanted it too even thought it took awhile. There were quite a few slow parts, but it didn't really take away much from the story. I really loved reading the religious aspect of it. I love hearing of ones journey with christ even if it is fiction. :)"

“The Reckoning not only brought this series to an end, it proved a stern point: Amish fiction is far from boring and Beverly Lewis depicted a wonderful story…The narrator of this audiobook series, Marguerite Gavin, is wonderful. Gavin uses a very believable Amish dialect when she speaks the phrases of the characters and also has a very captivating voice. I’m thankful that Blackstone Audio used the same narrator throughout the series, it makes the story flow better from book to book…Overall, the Heritage of Lancaster County series is wonderful and captivating. I truly enjoyed all three books, especially The Reckoning because it tied together every loose end.”
— Audiobookfans.com" As with the rest of the books of this series...I learned a lot about the culture of the Amish which was great! But after all the time commited to reading these books and all the build up...I felt like the end just totally fizzled. Good grief! "
— Carolyn, 2/3/2014" Yes, I read the newer cover for this too. I liked the ending enough not to be sad when the characters had to go. "
— Cookielover, 1/26/2014" This ended better than I thought it might, but only after some eye-rolling on my part. I really enjoyed the other Lewis trilogy I read so maybe she got better with some experience. I thought It could have been a great novel but was a really drawn-out trilogy with a lot of superfluous stuff. "
— Sue, 1/8/2014" This is a well written book about the Amish. This series follows a romance and the problems of families as they try to walk in their believes. "
— Shannon, 1/4/2014" Wealth is worth nothing without love and fellowship. Giving brings great joy!! "
— Kristina, 1/4/2014" This is book 3 of this series. I enjoyed the first one the best and this last one was good but it dragged on. I wish she had gotten to the ending faster and discussed that relationship that developed at the end longer instead of taking half of the book to get there. I don't know if that makes sense but if you read it you'll know what I mean. All in all it was a good series. I enjoyed learning more about the Amish lifestyle, even though it was fictional and I don't know how accurate it was. "
— Jennifer, 1/4/2014" I just finished this one. Perfect ending that still leaves somethings to your imagination... "
— Heather, 12/30/2013" I never did become captivated by this trilogy. However I did enjoy seeing the characters grow & open up in the final book. I also enjoyed the details of the Amish community, that was very fascinating & probably what drove me to finish this slow paced series. "
— Brandy, 12/18/2013" As far as Christian romances go, this is a pretty good one. I'm just not very fond of the genre. "
— Janice, 12/18/2013" ok...I finished this series. It was just actually kinda boring and predictable. I didn't even have to read it word for word to keep up with the story. I would only recommend it if you wanted to read something light and with a happy ending. "
— Stacey, 12/12/2013" What a pleasant conclusion to the series...the way it should have ended! "
— Katie, 11/12/2013" I had a feeling the series would end just like it did. I was not disappointed. "
— Kimmie, 11/5/2013" #3 of the trilogy. Things do have a way of working out for this author. I was a bit let down by her quick ending, but overall I did enjoy the 3 books. "
— Mary, 10/24/2013" Tied up all the loose ends from the previous books. Easy, predictable read. "
— Malia, 10/12/2013" The Reckoning is a wonderful conclusion to the Heritage of Lancaster County series. Katherine Mayfield, previously known as Amish girl Katie Lapp, finally achieves resolution in her life. "
— Judy, 7/6/2013" it was really good. a great ending to the series. it was suspensful too! "
— Morgan, 2/12/2013" Third in a series. It was okay. "
— Kaelee, 9/27/2012" Enjoyed final series in book. Generally a nice wrapping up of main loose issues while leaving some open to readers imagination. "
— Lori, 3/9/2012" I am so happy with how this series ended. It would have gotten five stars if I hadn't been so nervous of how things were going to turn out throughout the whole book. "
— Meghan, 3/9/2012" Pretty good story line through the series. There were a few things that really bothered me, but are spoilers, so I won't go into detail. They were also really predictable books. "
— Carol, 2/25/2012" Good insight into life in the Amish community. "
— Mary, 1/24/2012" This was a good book/series, but there were several things that just happened way too fast, and were kind of skimmed over. "
— Kati, 11/18/2011" Honestley the only thing this book had going for it with me was it's Amish perspective.....and....I just had to know the whereabouts of Daniel Fisher.The Daniel Fisher subject for me was quite brain racking. "
— Precious, 7/2/2011" This book was a wonderful ending to the series! "
— Andrea, 6/12/2011" This was my least favorite Amish series. Still not bad, but not the most gripping, if you can call them that. A bit too predictable; the author is not the most creative writer... Out of the 3 in the series, this one was my favorite, though. That happy ending stuff. "
— Robyn, 2/28/2011" Though I had a hard time getting into the series. "The Reckoning" was calling for me read more and find out what happened next. "
— Tina, 2/24/2011" This should have been one book, not three. It was drawn out. "
— Brittany, 1/23/2011" This is a great series. Warm lead character. "
— Cathy, 12/31/2010" This was a good book/series, but there were several things that just happened way too fast, and were kind of skimmed over. "
— Kati, 10/17/2010" ok...I finished this series. It was just actually kinda boring and predictable. I didn't even have to read it word for word to keep up with the story. I would only recommend it if you wanted to read something light and with a happy ending. "
— Stacey, 8/13/2010" This is a nice predictable book. It completes the Heritage of Lancaster County Series. A good inspirational reading title. "
