Don't buy this book if you expect it to be anything like The Dresden Files, but buy it if you want a more Lord of The Rings type epic tale. I bought this book for my Mom, who has LOVED the entire series of the Codex Alera. I'm a Dresden Files girl all the way, but I'm also a HUGE Jim Butcher fan. If he writes something, chances are I'll read it. Simply put, the man has unmatched talent. The characters in the Codex are phenomenal. The stories are fast-paced, and it is definitly an enjoyable reading experience. Buy it if this is what you're looking for, but shop around on Ebay for a good price.
Continuing the maturation of the main character Tavi and his journey of self discovery and his quest to find his place in the complicated society that is Aleria. Butcher has the Midas touch in weaving fantastic tales, taking the reader in with wonderful character development, and whisking us down fully plotted story lines that leave readers satisfied with each book while anticipating the next. Clues left in each book of Tavi's development give the observant reader clues to the next revelation about Tavi's true background and to those around him. Adventure fantasy with continuing story line and warmly realistic characters. Eons ahead of the standard sword and sorcery books, clearly on par with the literary classics.
Exciting & new ideas ! Well-developed story lines, interesting characters & fast moving twists and turns in the continuing plot! Read a while back & decided to purchase the series for my own enjoyment and easy access!
