Codex Alera is Jim Butcher's straight-out traditional fantasy series, as compared to his urban fantasy "Harry Dresden" series, set in a slightly different Chicago, or his "Cinder Spires" series (only the first book of which is out, that being The Aeronaut's Windlass), which has a more steampunk vibe...
I love this author and this series has won my heart. Tavi the young lad is in the academy and is being bullied and thinks he is less than others because of his weakness in certain areas. Tavi, has a good group of friends and some amazing facility members surrounding him.* He really reminds me of ano...
Remember, kids. Only you can prevent wildfires. Academ's Fury (Codex Alera, #2) by Jim Butcher Has spoilers for the first book, Furies of Calderon, my review of which is here. Academ's Fury and its sequel, Cursor's Fury, are my two favourite books in the Codex Alera series. Academ's Fury was actu...
Still loads of incredulous action and reasoning. Seriously, am I the only one who thinks that in case of an Emperor's temporary unavailability, there SHOULD be some established chain of authority? Instead we are given some shady "can't strust nobody" excuses, just for the convenience of the Author, ...
704 pages... and I'm sad there aren't more.I'm surprised by how much I like this series - especially since I don't like Butcher's Dresden novels much. I like that the hero in this book is the only one in their world to doesn't have magical powers, but has to rely simply on his wits to survive.
The book was cool, Jim could of cut like 200 pages out of it and it would have been much better. I really dont like all of the different perspective that they keep switching between in this book and the last. Just pick 1 or 2 and stick with it. I like the furies they remind me of the shadows in the ...
When it was first published, this series was one of my favorites in the fantasy genre. Now, re-reading it on the heels of reading an absolutely breathtaking trilogy for the first time, I find myself disappointed. I still enjoyed it, but there's very little depth to this book. It's riddled with clich...
My full review can be found at SFF Book Review.It's been two years since the events of Furies of Calderon and Tavi is now training to be a Cursor and stuying at the Academy. He makes some new friends but he is also being bullied because he still doesn't have a trace of furycrafting. But when the re...
Audiobook. It was okay. I don't really like the narrator's voice very much and I found myself bored in many places. But it is a pretty well done story, just long. I don't know if I will finish the series. I just don't care all that much about the characters like I normally would after spending so mu...
