Iwould have loved to review this book except Snow Lion Books sent me a Prairie Cook book as a replacement for.

Tavi of Calderon, once an apprentice sheep herder, has become a legend as he is Princeps Gaius Octavian, heir to the throne of Alera and the grandson of the First Lord Gaius Sextus. Tavi negotiated a peace with Alera’s latest enemy, the Canim, ending two years of fighting. The people of Alera use furies (elementals) to perform magic. Tavi escorts the Canim to their home on vessels made for this voyage, but a fierce storm throws the fleet off course, they land in the range of Shuar.
When they reach the stronghold, they realize the Canim have been destroys by the Vord, a hive like life form that can change shapes and are ruining the planet so that humans and the wolf-like Canim cannot survive. Tavi has a plot to go the extant Canim so they return to his home to join forces against the Vord. He is unaware that the Vord has already invaded Alera’s southlands spreading disaster everywhere they go. The Alerans who have successfully met every external threat for ten centuries are in distress from the deadliest enemy of all; political intrigue divides Alera further when a united front is the only way the Alerans can possibly survive.
Jim Butcher, obviously renowned for his Dresden Files, also writes a strong fantasy based on the Roman Empire mixing with additional species, magicks and elementals. As is the case with Dresden, Mr. Butcher has the mysterious ability to make his Codex Alera realm seem real; as he understands it is in the devious details. Tavi is a natural born leader whose strong moral instincts make him an ideal ruler as he is able to forge an alliance with a recent foe and have ex- enemies work together for the common excellent. Different characters narrate the tale so that the audience knows what is happening from a 360 degree perspective, which adds depth to an exciting fantasy thriller.

I like Jim Butcher’s writing and loved the beginning of this series. Having said that this series is now on a familiar track that suggest sequel after sequel as the leader and the publisher punish (soak) the reader for really buying a book. How many close shaves, life and death encounters will our, not hero, but heroes, escape before the sun shines again?
No one writes a excellent tale anymore with a start and middle and an end. No, Jim Butcher has now joined the pantheon of bestselling fantasy authors compelled by how many words they can stuff into a tale, detailing how (slot in fantasy hero) becomes a man or woman and saves the world in the process.

I had been keenly waiting for this book to find out what would take place with Tavi next and was very excited when I got it. But, as soon as I ongoing reading it, I could not help but puzzled, “Who wrote this book?” and “what was the purpose of it?” Comparing it with all the exciting previous books (so full of actions), this book was so nonchalant and so uneventful. I finished reading the whole book and really did not learn too much because the whole book was just so uneventful, with no climax anywhere, it was really flat. I guess the only purpose of this book is to serve as a prelude for the next book. My recommendation is to skip this one and wait for the next book. I regret buying it because I establish a copy in the library on the same day I received this book.

As a whole I delight in the series… This book wasnt terrible, but it lacked any real drama for me. Not sure why, I just didnt feel as involved in this outing as others. It felt very transitional. It was easily the worst of the series. Tavi doesnt do much; there were no huge suprises or reveals.
To me it feels like the leader tried to squeeze an extra novel out of material that could have been added to additional books. A excellent book, even in a series, (like his Dresdon work) can be seen as stand alone, this one cant, its too much backround and set up. You can do that with TV because they come a week apart… not so much with books fan wait a year between to read.
