hirvimaki's review against another edition
4.0
Although it was literally minutes between my finishing Cursor's Fury and starting Captain's Fury, a full two years had passed for Tavi. After the slightly awkward pacing and plodding nature of Cursor's Fury, this book took off right from the start with a nice, brisk pace and plenty of action and revelations. Captain's Fury answered many questions from the previous books and the main characters finally seem to get solid footing and find themselves. On to Princeps' Fury with great anticipation!

*Spoilers if you have not read the previous books
The short-Tavi's coming of age and power, the First Lord finally makes a move and love shines in Alera, War takes a huge toll.
It's all that and a bucket of chicken !
I feel like I have known Tavi all his life. Well, I have in a literary sense. He has gone from this little insecure child to an awkward teenager to this new confident capable man. He is in his early twenties now and faces some horrible circumstances, he must be the voice and mind of salvation. He takes extreme risks there is no other choice.
I admit I felt proud of him. Our Tavi, what a man he has turned into. :D
The war is on, blood flows like a river. Horrors come to light that show things are worse than ever thought. The First Lord has to make a move, finally. He heads out with Bernard and Amara on a quest that most likely will fail. There they will be involved in something so horrific, everything will change.
Araris and Isana win for best couple in this edition. What a pair they make. I loved seeing them work together while fighting the dangers before them and supporting Tavi.
Another great adventure, across land, swamp, field, and even over water. The mind games and the twisted lies all play together so perfectly. In the end I was left cheering, and clapping for these heroes and even the villains.

Another great addition to the Codex Alera series. Full of action, suspense and character growth. Couldn't put it down.

I am not entirely sure how I feel about Captain's Fury .
If you read my review for Cursor's Fury , I said that I LOVED that installment because it had everything that makes a book great in it (well to me at least). This one did not.
I was disappointed in Jim Butcher because I found the plot not very interesting, but it may be because I had found its predecessor incredible.
I am a hard judge, what can I say. The characters remain splendid and the world interesting, it was only a let down in comparison to the one I had just finished.
That being said. Read this. and then move on. Because this story does not deserve to be set down.

Did not think I would enjoy this series, but with every book I finish and every page I turn, it keeps getting better and better.
