Captain's Fury


Captain's Fury (Codex Alera #4)

Jim Butcher, 2007


We join the story two years after the events in Cursor's Fury. Tavi is still leading the First Aleran Legion, now officially as its captain, in its stand against the invading Canim army. But after meeting with one of the Canim officers, Tavi realizes that there might be a simple solution, which would not only stop the war, but would give them an ally against a fierce common enemy. Meanwhile, the First Lord has enlisted the help of the Amara and Bernard in a mission against Kalare that could change the course of the war.

I really enjoyed this episode in the Codex Alera series. Tavi is getting much more powerful, although is still weak enough with his furies that it isn't too easy for him (because that would be boring). Plus, Kitai's abilities were a very interesting development. I wish that we could have had a little more of Max and his brother here, but with a lot of the action taking place away from the First Aleran, I guess it wasn't to be. Lots of surprises in this book, though, and I'm really looking forward to seeing where these events will take us to in the final two books.
