Jim Butcher returns to his well-established characters pretty much where he left them off in Captain’s Fury.
And when the Alerans are cut off from their ships, they find themselves with no choice but to fight shoulder to shoulder if they are to survive.For a thousand years, Alera and her furies have withstood every enemy, and survived every foe.The thousand years are over… But when Tavi and his legions guide the Canim safely to their lands, his worst fears are realized.The dreaded Vord-the enemy of Aleran and Cane alike-have spent the last three years laying waste to the Canim homeland. Tavi of Calderon, now recognized as Princeps Gaius Octavian and heir to the crown, has achieved a fragile alliance with Alera’s oldest foes, the savage Canim. SPOILERS for books 1-4 ahead…įirst sentence: Raucus had cut his teeth in battle at fourteen years of age. Having come this far, I will obviously listen to the last book in the series, but just to put it into perspective: Had this been a standalone novel or the first in a series, I wouldn’t feel the need to read anything else by Butcher. The fact that I didn’t immediately write down my thoughts goes to show that I was quite underwhelmed this time around. I know there is more to come and i am only halfway through, but the series is great fun.I finished the penultimate instalment of the Codex Alera a few days ago. Mostly I just wanted to share my joy with others who care about fantasy. It was just a subtle turning on and off of the light, that was well done in my opinion. I am especially happy that his ability didn't reveal itself in some big moment where he saves the day unexpectedly. Tavi and Kitai can both craft, yes! I was waiting for that moment for three books and it made me so excited. What I am most excited about, however, was the Epilogue. The ending to the third book with Tavi taking down the Canim force on the bridge was so much fun to read. It seems like in the first book the character development was lacking, but it has improved a lot and I am throughly engaged with the characters. I was a little skeptical of the series when i started on book one, but it has really hooked me. Woah! I just finished the third book in Jim Butchers Codex Alera series, and i have to say i loved it.
