Book Reviews of Furies of Calderon (Codex Alera, Book 1)
Book Review: A Unique new series, very compelling story telling.
Summary: 5 Stars
I like many recent purchasers bought this book because of knowledge of the Author and 'The Dresden Files'. Quite by accident was my purchase actually. I was in an airport, had lost my copy of Dresden Book 1 while traveling and bough it, and then grabbed the next one thinking I'd have time to read it on my 5 hr flight.
Upon initially starting to read it, my disgust with buying the wrong book melted no more than four pages in. Jim Butcher creates an entirely new concept of fantasy environments and drags you through it rather quickly, and as the story progresses you learn more of the environment in which this world is created.
I quickly bought the next two in the series, and have enjoyed them as well. The only frustration I've had is that I thought it was just a trilogy, and burned through them so fast to want to find out what happened only to realize there are at least two, if not more, titles.
Summary of Furies of Calderon (Codex Alera, Book 1)
In the realm of Alera, where people bond with the furies--elementals of earth, air, fire, water, wood, and metal--fifteen-year-old Tavi struggles with his lack of furycrafting. But when his homeland erupts in chaos--when rebels war with loyalists and furies clash with furies-- Tavi's simple courage will turn the tides of war.Epic Books
