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...
“Loved this even more that the last book. Tavi, is developing into a strong young man, beyond capable even without furies. The war begins and many find themselves in difficult positions where there is no good choice.Sorry I can't day more I might spoil it.I'm off to start book 4 !

This is the 3rd book in Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series and it just keeps getting better and better. The series is a mashup of historical fiction set during the Ancient Roman Empire and magical fantasy adventure. I definitely want to finish this series - it's fun, exciting, and has a great audio ...
