![]() The biggest part of the story takes place in the capitol of ‘Alera’ and its main castle. The thing I really disliked is the lack of world building. But in this story it was unrealistically overdone and out of balance. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything against strong female characters and I do certainly enjoy reading about underdogs getting to where they deserve to be by hardship, it doesn't matter if that is a girl or a guy. In this book there are multiple story lines again, varying from a potentially apocalyptic alien take-over to a feminist ‘political’. Well, not completely in this story but it is actually not that far off. ![]() It does sound a bit cliché but sometimes when questions are answered only more arise. ![]() That in itself is certainly not a bad thing, Butcher always manages to create a story that drags me in its fast current and delivers quite the flash.Īnother positive thing was that some of my questions that arose after reading the first book were answered. The story starts and is filled with non-stop action. But for me it just didn't work as it was supposed to. Perhaps a little too high, because there were quite a few points that bothered me a bit.Īnyway… I had high expectations for book two, ‘Furies of Calderon’ as it did have the potential to be the start of a great series. ‘Furies of Calderon’ I grudgingly gave a pretty high 7.2. ![]() ![]() ‘Academ’s Fury’ is the second book in ‘The Codex Alera’ series. ![]()
