Captain's Fury

Full review at SFF Book Review.

I feel like I'm repeating myself when it comes to Jim Butcher's books. But I have to say it, again: This is my favorite book of the series - so far.

I wasn't a huge fan of the first book but continued anyway. With every volume in the Codex Alera series, Jim Butcher has stolen my heart a little bit more. Book three, Cursor's Fury, decided it for me with its brilliant military aspect. It's as if the author knows which parts I like best and writes each book with only the best ideas from the preceeding novel.

Captain's Fury has everything a great fantasy novel needs. Wonderful characters who we have come to know and love over the course of several thousand pages, a great world that seems to be in constant conflict with someone or something. There are some of the most engaging and thrilling action scenes in these books that I have ever read and I honestly can't imagine going to bed every night without at least a little bit of Tavi.

8,5/10
