I read (and totally love) the Dresden Files series, cut the Codex Alera series is - almost impossibly, i feel - even BETTER than the Dresden Files!

“Another powerful 'Tavi' story. Epic battles, fantastic and believable characters. You *must* read the first three before this one though!”

I guess I was a closet fantasy book lover and never knew it. This series will make me think twice about what types of books I turn my nose up at :)”

“Butcher is definitely a strong writer. This book continues the sage of Alera. The character growth is consistent and the many odds the young here must overcome add to the thrills of the story. Loved it! Can't wait for the next.”

I figured Butcher would have his characters "grow too much" by now, but suprised me he kept it under control this well.
Though for those who are annoyed by this (I don't mind): Just like in Dresden Files, lots of time passes between/in the books, but has apparently nearly no effect on the characters or the world. A unique knack to Butcher's writing, I suppose. ;)”“Okay, the ending definitely left room for a sequel! Each of the four books ages the characters by about 2 years, so the 15 year-old boy in The Fury of Caulderon is 21 in Captain's Fury, and he's just growing into full power as heir to the kingdom. Love the relationships that develop, as well as the emphasis on moral choices against violent foes...”
