I love to read about Tavi and his immediate circle of friends - Kitai, Max, Ehren, Crassus, Marcus. I love to read about what political hijinks Lord & Lady Aquitaine are up to, and what Lady Aria Placida, Issana & Araris are doing to try to help stop them. And I love to read about Fidelias and his struggle to play both sides against each other. Kalare, η Amara, έχοντας γίνει η προσωπική σύνδεσμος του Πρώτου Άρχοντα, αυτά τα χρόνια τα έχει περάσει ταξιδεύοντας μεταξύ της π��ωτεύουσας και των πολιορκητικών στρατοπέδων των Λεγεώνων τους, παραδίδοντας και συλλέγοντας αναφορές για την πορεία των δυνάμεών τους που την έχει πάρει μακριά από την συντροφιά του Bernard περισσότερο απ’ όσο θα ήθελε. Gaius leaves Tavi and his legion with some high-ranking political vipers, which leads him into several (seemingly) impossible situations with massive moral and legal ramifications.

For years, he has endured the endless trials and triumphs of a man whose skill and power could not be restrained. Battling ancient enemies, forging new alliances, and confronting the corruption within his own land, Gaius Octavian became a legendary man of war – and the rightful First Lord of Alera.

However, with the war having extended beyond their control, touching the hearts of the slaves and the simple people, when the Canim warriors and their united free forces seem to be ready to surge towards the last defending troops of their Legions, and Lord Kalarus approaches at unleashing a restrained power of vast consequences, Tavi and his companions, Amara and Bernard, and Isana and Araris, will have to find a way to overcome the obstacles that will come before them and put a final end to this war before it’s too late, because if they fail, the future of the Realm of Alera will become more uncertain than ever before. The progression of Tavi from young, naive, fury-less Country boy to a veteran, capable, fury-full (is that a word) Captain of the Aleran forces has been thoughful, understandable and well done. I also find myself really liking the characters Butcher has created and believe that he has done a better job in this series at fleshing out the characters and making them three dimensional than in his more popular Dresden books (which I also like by the way). Isana, με τα μυστικά του παρελθόντος της να έχουν αρχίσει να της φέρνουν μια βαθιά ενοχή, τρώγοντας την ίδια της την ψυχή, όταν αναλάβει να παραδώσει τις προμήθειες που αγόρασε με την χρηματοδότηση της Ντιανικής Συμμαχίας στους πρόσφυγες στο Elinarch, θα πρέπει να πάρει μια δύσκολη που μπορεί κάλλιστα να της κοστίσει το μοναδικό άτομο στον κόσμο αυτό που αγαπάει περισσότερο• ενώ ο Valiar Marcus, έχοντας πάρει την ταυτότητα κάποιου αλλουνού αυτά τα δύο χρόνια, πολεμώντας στο πλευρό ενός αγοριού - ενός νεαρού άντρα - που δεν θα είχε φανταστεί ποτέ του ότι θα έβρισκε ξανά, θα πρέπει να επιλέξει μεταξύ της αφοσίωσης του και τιμής του, και του σίγουρου θανάτου του και της διατήρησης της ζωής του.

Tavi, now a Captain in the first Alerean Army, discovers that the Camin that invaded two years ago may have had a good reason for it. It seems the Vord have taken up residence in their home in land. Tavi knows that with this knowledge he maybe able to end the war between Alerea and the Camin he's just going to have to break a few laws to do it. In the meantime his Uncle, Amera, and the First Lord himself set off to end a rebellion, but the cost to end it may be far too high of a price to pay. On March 3, 2003, Jim Butcher announced that Ace won a bidding war against rival publisher Del Rey Books for the rights to the series. [18]

After making landfall outside of the city of Antillus, Octavian begins preparations for his march to Riva. However, the Vord queen makes an appearance via watercraft projection, making essentially a hologram of herself out of every pool of water large enough to hold it, all across the continent. She states that her victory is inevitable and that she will accept any Aleran that wishes to surrender and allow them to live out the remainder of their life in peace provided they do not have any children. Octavian then uses the same watercrafting tactic to announce his arrival on the Aleran continent and give a morale boosting speech. Meanwhile, his aircrafting knights use their abilities to fly in and evacuate an occupied village from under the Queen's nose. In retribution, the Queen kidnaps Octavian's mother, Isana, as well as Araris Valerian, Isana's lover and the most skilled swordsman in the realm. Despite all this she has a secret which is to do with the man she loves. She's trying to fulfil her role to Gais at all times, but sometimes she wishes things were different and Curser's could get married and live a simple life...I did finish, I did enjoy the ending, but I personally think the book has taken some wrong turns along the way. I found the first book refreshing because Tavi was a hero who had to survive through his wits because he had no power of his own. But Butcher has changed this to a typical seemingly weak character who slowly comes into his power. I wish he'd kept Tavi the way he was. A duel Tavi fights near the end of the book perfectly outlines what I mean--the old Tavi would never have been able to do what the current Tavi accomplishes. No swords cutting through metal, superhuman leaps to nearby roofs, etc. Butcher καταφέρνει να φέρει στο Captain’s Fury ένα ακόμη συναρπαστικό μυθιστόρημα που αναμιγνύει υπέροχα την στρατιωτική φαντασία με την πολιτική ίντριγκα, ταξιδεύοντάς μας μέσα σε μια ιστορία λεγεωνάριων και σωματοφυλάκων, Πολιτών και απλών ανθρώπων, βάρβαρων καβαλάρηδων και λυκοειδών πολεμιστών, αλλά και σε μια περιπέτεια στρατηγημάτων και συνομωσιών, και εμπιστοσύνης και αλήθειας που, καθώς οι ζωές των χαρακτήρων περιπλέκονται ακόμη περισσότερο, φέρνοντάς τους ενώπιον μεγαλύτερων δυσκολιών, επιτυγχάνει στο τέλος να προσφέρει μπόλικες απολαυστικές στιγμές συγκίνησης και χαράς, κάνοντας την αναμονή των επόμενων περιπετειών τους ακόμη πιο μεγάλη.

Canim πολεμιστές και οι ενωμένες ελεύθερες δυνάμεις τους φανούν να είναι έτοιμοι να ξεχυθούν προς τα τελευταία αμυνόμενα στρατεύματα των Λεγεώνων τους, και ο Άρχοντας Kalarus πλησιάσει στο να ελευθερώσει μια συγκρατημένη δύναμη απέραντων συνεπειών, ο Tavi και οι σύντροφοί του, η Amara και ο Bernard, και η Isana και o Araris, θα πρέπει να βρουν ένα τρόπο για να ξεπεράσουν τα εμπόδια που θα έρθουν ενώπιόν τους και να βάλουν ένα οριστικό τέλος σε αυτόν τον πόλεμο πριν να είναι πολύ αργά, γιατί αν αποτύχουν, το μέλλον του Βασιλείου της Alera θα γίνει πιο αβέβαιο από ποτέ. One of the high spots for me was the oceanic encounter with the leviathans. The creatures themselves were an inspired creation, being so huge, wild, and uncontrollable. The uncertainty of that adventure kept me reading frantically. Isana was amazing! Punching a shark away with her water fury! Following that remarkable incident, I have come to wonder if she has far more power than she has allowed herself to believe. Excessive power could have drawn attention to her little steadholt and to her family that she just didn't want.Well known fantasy author Jim Butcher is highly regarded thanks to his popular series of novels ‘The Dresden Files’ as well as the ‘Codex Alera’ saga. All this has helped secure him a place as a New York Times best-selling author. Early and Personal Life This is set in a world where magic is the norm and everyone has at least one weak Fury (kind of a magic spirit). If you are very proficient with the Fury or Furies that you control and use then it's more likely that you're a noble or someone who has a position of power, although some keep the true extent of their powers hidden. My last note is: I hate the vord. I have hated them since the croach crater in book 1. I'm not even sure why I dislike them so much, but I really really do. Maybe because they're a Borg-style (or Dalek-style) villain but done poorly. Of course, I do feel that both of those villains became caricatures, and were no longer frightening by the end of their respective TV shows. We shall see how I feel after Princeps' Fury (Codex Alera #5), but for some reason I have this feeling I am going to hate that one. Big surprise!
