First Lord's Fury (Codex Alera, Book 6) Review
This has been such a great read for me. I've enjoyed this series from book one, and now Butcher is bringing Tavi's story to a close. I read a complaint or two about how this book has too many battle scenes, but (and I have never favored them in the past) I don't mind Butcher's description of the battles. I find he does it in such a concise and clear manner that I find it more thrilling to read than boring. What I most enjoyed about his writing is the character development. Tavi has grown to much from book to book...from a shepard boy to the First Lord. Of course this was not just handed over to him. Tavi has proven his devotion to his people, his tenacity, his intelligence, his friendship, and loyalty to those he loves in each story. Adversity was dumped on him, and he rose above.
In this final book Tavi is coming home from Canem only to find his country taken over by the cronch (sp?) and it's queen. Basically, his people is looking extinction in the face. Tavi, through ingenuity and determination plans a way to get across a land that would normally take weeks in a matter of days to help the last of his people as they make their final stand against the queen.
I would highly recommend this book to any fantasy/science fiction/adventure reader. Butcher does a fine job of creating well-rounded and interesting people, as well as creating different and unique races.
