Academ's Fury by Jim Butcher
5.0
Let me just tell you right there. This one was phenomenal.
If you've read the first one, you'd know the young boy Tavi has finally fulfilled his dream of studying at the Academy. Thanks to avoiding the war between the Alerans and the savage Marat. However, things aren't actually going to plan.
This book made me realise how much I miss Hogwarts and every other institutional body where students are involved. The seed of the background story arc was planted in the first book but this is where it grows roots. If you thought, the Marat were barbarians, wait till you meet the foe of this one.
Tavi, now an Academ is busy doing what every other student would do. Try to fit in in a world where furies take precedent over wits. The villains of the first book (not the Marat) aren't sitting idle either. Plots under plots threaten the stability and only Amarra, Bernard and Isana are gradually drawn into a secret war of espionage and politics. If it wasn't exciting enough, the second half of the book picks up speed and refuses to decelerate.
An attack at the centre of power threatened whatever normal life our young hero had. Dangerous pacts, jail breaks and diabolical facades threatens the Realm from internal foes as much as from others. Meanwhile, an ancient enemy has risen. And you Tavi, might have been a part of it.
I didn't pause, sleep or eat. And every second was worth the time.
