Interpretation To Books Cursor's Fury (Codex Alera #3)
The power-hungry High Lord of Kalare has launched a rebellion against the aging First Lord, Gaius Sextus, who with the loyal forces of Alera must fight beside the unlikeliest of allies-the equally contentious High Lord of Aquitaine. Meanwhile, young Tavi of Calderon joins a newly formed legion under an assumed name even as the ruthless Kalare unites with the Canim, bestial enemies of the realm whose vast numbers spell certain doom for Alera. When treachery from within destroys the army's command structure, Tavi finds himself leading an inexperienced, poorly equipped legion-the only force standing between the Canim horde and the war-torn realm.Specify Books Supposing Cursor's Fury (Codex Alera #3)

Wonderful. Best so far. Good integration of magic, strategy, and Roman engineering. Tavi's character takes shape and some new relationships develop, along with the old favorites (Max, Kitai, Ehren, Amara, Bernard, etc.). We learn about Fade's role in his birth, and see more of the wolf-like Canum warriors and ritualist sorcerers.But Butcher goes overboard with "wolfish grins" and inserts a bit too much on the sexy Amara-Bernard ship.I don't buy into the reformed character. Redemption isn't soAnother 5 for sure on this book in the series! Im not sure whether I liked it as much as the second book but I do know that I loved it.I loved that this book takes place years after the last book and that gives the characters to grow up a bit. As in the other books in the series, there are constant twists and turns. The characters are so real and the villians again show to be in a very grey zone. I love how Gaius is supposed to be the good guy but the story is always bringing up evidence that he
Roman legions rock the Pokemon house. There seems to be no universal acclaim to the greatness of this series as its with behemoths like Sanderson, Rothfuß, Brett, Simmons, Williams, and I guess one of the reasons for this is that there is nothing really new in this one while people got used to reading one genre revolution after the other. So we have: The hive mind organism evil enemy, check. A frenemy whose culture is used to describe different societal systems, showing a kind of alternative
This series just keeps getting better and better. THAT TWIST!I never saw that spoilery thing coming, and I'm betting neither did most of you. But kudos if you did...Ok, it starts out with the stars turning red and something scary getting loose in the clouds...All the characters we love are back, along with all the ones we love to hate.*rubs hands together with glee*The story switches mostly between these main groups of characters:Tavi (and his friends) on a spoilery mission from Gaius as
I have yet to actually like any of the books in the Codex Alera. Why do I keep reading them, you ask? Good question. I guess at some point I couldn't tear my eyes away from the train wreck and I love a good groan as well as the next bloke. At this point I'm in gaped mouthed awe at how angry these books make me, and I just have to know if they continue to be so bad. Prepare for maximum bitchiness.(view spoiler)[I'll begin with the title. Once you figure out the naming scheme for the Codex Alera
This series gets better with each book. Cursor's Fury is still solidly in the military fantasy camp. I always like good military fantasy book. The battles are well-written, and we can see Tavi grow as character. Also, There are twists and revelations at parts of book that take it beyond pure military fantasy, and some great developments to looking a foreword to reading next book ASAP.Ratings:- 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
By far the best of the first three books in the series. I think the biggest change was Tavi stopped whining and in the first two novels the author kept insisting Tavi was smart but his clueless actions said otherwise. The action was also much faster. All of the other characters have been interesting and compelling all along and continue to be so. It's just hard when the focal character isn't. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
