Furies of Calderon by Jim Butcher
4.0
4.5
These quickie reviews are so much fun to write, so let's continue on that track, huh?
_______________
Furies of Calderon is a fantastic first installment. I've been on a bit of a fantasy kick lately and this managed to satisfy that need.
Don't be intimidated by its size or genre; The 600+ pages fly by and feel more like 200. The concept of Furies is a very interesting one that creates endless possibilities for the next few books.
You quickly become attached to the characters, and although there are many of them, it never gets confusing or hard to remember who is who. Isana is my personal favorite, that woman is a badass bitch who won't take any shit from sexist men!
This book balances on a tightrope between young adult and adult. There's a good amount of violence and only one character who is considered a teenager, and he is only a medium-sized part of the story. I'm looking forward to seeing Tavi grow as a character, and can't wait to see what's next to come of him.
The reason why it isn't a full-on 5 stars is because the ending was dragged out way too long (200 pages). And yet, after I finished it, I found myself wanting more.
Final verdict:
I am on this bandwagon and am not planning on getting off any time soon. Hand me the next book!
