The plot thickens. And Butcher's talent for telling a tale shines in this third book in the Codex Alera. I love the almost languid way details are revealed, giving characters more depth and making the action - of which there is plenty - have meaning.

“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 !

I don't know whether the books got better, or it just takes me a thousand pages to get invested, but I was trying to read the 4th one of these while pushing the stroller yesterday. NOT a good idea, but worth a shot.

This installment in the Codex Alera series was OMG INCREDIBLE.
The other three were good. Tavi slowly grows into the man you want him to as he discovers that living means MORE than having furies. And the other characters grow with him.
Bernard becomes incredibly important and Amara as well (so does Isana). So the other books are (obviously) worth reading.
BUT THIS ONE IS JUST GREAT GREAT GREAT.
It has everything that I love: the incompetent that discovers hidden talent, swashbuckling romance, warfare, magic. I literally LIVE for books like this.
Whenever someone fakes it till they make it - and when they do its in epic proportions - thats when an author gets a spot on my love list.
Thank you Jim Butcher. For giving me the beautifulness that is Cursor’s Fury
