The Dresden Files Roleplaying Game Wears an Evil Hat". Jim-butcher.com (Press release). 16 December 2004 . Retrieved 2015-10-14. stars. Another excellent installment in what has turned out to be an above-average epic fantasy series. The description of the book tells enough about the story that I won't re-hash the plot and will simply point out a few things I like about the story. Captain's Fury is the fourth book in the Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher. The events in the book take place approximately two years after the events in Cursor's Fury. Tavi is about 21 or 22 years old. The Dresden Files were to be the first books that Jim Butcher was to have published, with ‘Storm Front’ being released on the first of April, 2000. Over the course of the Dresden Files series there has been fifteen novels released to date. Chronicling the exploits of wizard and private investigator Harry Dresden, they follow him as he goes about his day-to-day business in Chicago. Incorporating both fantasy and science-fiction, they have become his most successful franchise so far. With a short-lived television series that received cult appeal after its cancellation, graphic novels, role-playing games and even a rumored movie at one point, this has now more than proven to be the case. It also appears that he’s not finishing this series any time soon.

Tavi’s interactions with Varg and Nasaug are some of my most favorite moments. Over the course of time Tavi has gained an understanding of their social structure and has learned to use it to his advantage, also earning their deep respect, but not necessarily revoking his status as an enemy. It’s a very thin line he walks, which makes it all the more awesome. He’s created a very tentative relationship with the Canim, and I’m curious to see how long that lasts, and how far that will extend to the rest of Alera.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. And, yes. It wasn't like things didn't happen to them on the journey, but none of those things needed to be described in any sort of detail. Butcher could have told us where they were going and why, skipped over all the traveling through the woods crap, and then had them show up and do their thing at the end. Revealing Dead Man's Hand, the Debut Novel From James J. Butcher". Tor.com. 23 March 2022 . Retrieved 7 April 2022. And I would subjectively say that the amalgamation of every aspect of the story in the character makes the works more complex and opens plot options that wouldn´t be possible if the intrinsic motivation of the protagonists isn´t directly linked to their abilities, superpowers, sheer will,...

As always the action is non-stop and wonderfully descriptive. There are scenes in this book (in all of the Codex Alera books) where you almost feel like you are right there in the midst of it. And in this one the scene in particular that stands out is when Isana is watching Tavi's final battle. It was simply awesome. 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). Executive Summary: While this one didn't live up to my memory of it, it's still a really fun read with a lot to like. Gaius takes Amara and Bernard into Kalarus’s lands, as he tells them that Kalarus has woken one of the Great Furies in the Kalare mountains and if Kalare is killed, the mountain will erupt and kill everyone in the region. Gaius intends to disarm the Fury. During their journey, Gaius cannot use his powers as this will signal Kalare that he is on Kalare’s lands and ruin their mission. Gaius gets an infection as his feet blister from walking 300 miles to the mountain and he must be tended to along the way. As they approach the mountains, the group is discovered by a legion of Immortals led by Brencis Minoris, Kalarus’s son. Gaius heals himself and destroys the legion. He then releases the great fury which destroys Kalare and all who reside in the area. Amara, who is angry at the First lord for lying to her, throws her silver coin in his face and leaves him.In sci-fi, on the other hand, it´s logical that with the advanced technological development each fraction that is relevant to the plot has to have a certain military strength and the endless source for new ideas is creating fresh and tasty combinations of the level of how society, mentality, and tech cooperate.
