Academ's Fury by Jim Butcher

3.0

I gave this book three stars. I liked it. The constant action kept it exciting and made me want to keep reading, but the book was predictable and cheesy. I liked the first book because it was something new and the action made it a really good read, but the obnoxious elements of the writing really started to shine through in the second book, and if they continue, I don't know if I will be able to make it through four more books. The human interactions are all ridiculous and not at all lifelike, and every time a new trial arose for one of the characters, you knew exactly how it was going to end because Jim Butcher likes happy endings and refuses to kill one of his heroes to create emotion or surprise. I will keep reading in hopes that the books become less sappy, but my hopes aren't high.
