Book Reviews of Academ's Fury (Codex Alera, Book 2)
Book Review: Excellent !!
Summary: 5 Stars
- Butcher starts to reveal the depth of his characters and it creates an excellent tension for readers so we can really develop a love affair with the heroes and villains (which definitely arent cut and dry) of Alera. While traditional fantasy novels might usually dabble in political intrigue, the Codex Alera puts it at the forefront. Being able to reflect on all four books, each tends to be a coming of age novel, as there are basically two years between each novel and we get to see Tavi engage in quite incredible situations.
- Academ's reveals the Vord, which is a very sci-fi departure from the first novel, which is, character-wise, rather traditional in its introductory tone. They are a mythical enemy to the Alerans' enemy, the Marat. But, aside from battling a legendary foe, Academ's focuses on political situations and displays its characters to have multiple dimensions. We saw a little bit of that in Fidelias in Furies of Calderon, but it doesn't start to show until this novel and further increases greatly in Cursor's and Captain's Fury - making these books unbelievably addictive. Go get them now!
