Addictive...

We started out as fans of Jim's other series: The Dresden Files. Since we'd run out of those books, we thought we'd give the Codex Alera a try. We're now hooked on this series as well. All of Jim's work is a joy to read, full of plot twists, and always some humor, even in the middle of the worst battles. As long as Jim keeps writing them, we'll read!!!

Hooked on the series

The first book was good (I even paid full price for it), so I bought the second (another full price). The second was even better than the first. The characters are familiar now and the story becoming more interesting.

My only complaint would be for such a young man, Tavi always has the right answer to complex situations. This is fantasy, however. It looks like I will be buying book three now.

It is good to find a new series. I just hope it does not drag on forever, like some that become popular. There should be a stopping point.

Great Book

I really liked this book. I was already a fan of the Harry books .... I am starting to really enjoy Tavi's series. I would recomend you start with the first one (Furies of Calderon)to get the history. It's ok to start with this one, but you will enjoy it much more if you read them in order.

Excellent !!

- Butcher starts to reveal the depth of his characters and it creates an excellent tension for readers so we can really develop a love affair with the heroes and villains (which definitely arent cut and dry) of Alera. While traditional fantasy novels might usually dabble in political intrigue, the Codex Alera puts it at the forefront. Being able to reflect on all four books, each tends to be a coming of age novel, as there are basically two years between each novel and we get to see Tavi engage in quite incredible situations.
- Academ's reveals the Vord, which is a very sci-fi departure from the first novel, which is, character-wise, rather traditional in its introductory tone. They are a mythical enemy to the Alerans' enemy, the Marat. But, aside from battling a legendary foe, Academ's focuses on political situations and displays its characters to have multiple dimensions. We saw a little bit of that in Fidelias in Furies of Calderon, but it doesn't start to show until this novel and further increases greatly in Cursor's and Captain's Fury - making these books unbelievably addictive. Go get them now!
