Book Overview

In Furies of Calderon , #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher introduced readers to a world where the forces of nature take physical form. But now, it is human nature that threatens to throw the realm into chaos... For centuries, the people of Alera have harnessed the furies--elementals of earth, air, fire, water, wood, and metal--to protect their land from aggressors. But no fury can save them from the dangers they face within. A mysterious...

book 2 of 6

Academ's Fury takes place two years after Furies of Calderon. Tavi is at the Academy (hence the title), still fury-less (magic-less), training to become a Cursor (secret agent), and working as the First Lord's page. It's finals time, and as his final exam as a Cursor, he's to catch the Black Cat--a thief who's been plaguing the capital but is inexplicably able to avoid the watch furies. He has other finals as well, which should...

A fantastic high fantasy series!

I started reading these because I am a fan of the Dresden Files (his other series)and because I love fantasy.I was not dissapointed! Butcher juggles a lot of characters, plot and cultures so well.

What really amazes me is Butcher's ability to humanize "evil" characters...

Better than the first book

Other people have done a very good job of describing the plot so I'll use my review to explain my reaction to this book and why I gave it such a good rating.

While I don't agree completely with him, there is some justice to this claim so I'd recommend that readers finish...

Butcher does no wrong

He takes to pure fantasy like a fish to water and going a route that pleases me immensly. One thing I dislike in the current fantasy trend is the "realistic" fantasy that is coming out these days.

I like my fantasy to have magic, and action, a bit of romance and a...

To live in interesting times. . .

A growing changing tapestry of characters and events in an unfolding map of adventure and peril. . .I LOVE this stuff. With each new book Butcher has rapidly ascended to the levels of the best of the master storytellers. It is enthralling to watch Tavi grow into his strength, to realize his love, to find his duty and to barely keep his head above water as his world explodes around him into complexity. Through it all there...
