In his acclaimed Codex Alera novels, best-selling author Jim Butcher has created a fascinating world in which the powerful forces of nature take physical form. For millennia, the people of Alera have used their unique bond with these elementals for protection. Now, as enemies become allies, and friends become bitter foes, a danger beyond reckoning looms....©2008 Jim Butcher (P)2008 Penguin Action & Adventure Epic Epic Fantasy Fantasy Fiction Military

Critic reviews

“Sharp tactical plotting, hazardous cross-country travel and a dash of sardonic humor mark Butcher's fourth Codex Alera novel...Butcher deftly deploys intrigue, conflicted loyalties and hairbreadth action to excellent effect. Few writers balance military realism and cinematic swashbuckling with so much skill or wit.” (Publishers Weekly)

"The fourth Codex Alera novel further develops the world and characters of its predecessors and confirms Butcher's mastery of action-filled fiction.” (Booklist)

“I couldn't put this one down...Great work.” (SF Revu)
Engaging Character Development • Compelling Storyline • Intricate World-building • Exciting Battle Scenes • Emotional Depth

I have listened to the books in this series and (yikes!) I got so involved I stopped everything I was doing and enjoyed the action! Kate Reading is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. She really brings the characters to life throughout the whole series thus far and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of emotion in her voice! I found myself "feeling" the emotions of characters and situations and I loved the descriptions of places and people, the writer really drew me into the story. I would have to say that this series should be on the credit-worthy list. As a side note, I feel the need to add that I love "Epics" but I am terribly picky about what series I keep listening / reading. This is a great one and I will be sad when it's over.

I had to STOP everything!

Love what Tabi learns in this one. That Tavi is one smart cookie. I am worried for the Carnam.

This entire series has been one big page-turner. I usually listen to books during my commute. Since starting this series, however, I find myself finding time to listen.

Butcher has done an excellent job developing the characters. They are both internally consistent while still growing from book to book. A new facet is seen for most of the major characters in each subsequent book.

Kate is a masterful story-teller. I enjoyed her in the Wheel of Time series as well. With her, it is easy to discern who is speaking.

Butcher does a great job of mixing in political intrigue, individual and epic battles, new and unique races and romance. I especially enjoy his unique implementation of "magic".

Great book in a great series

This series is among my top three favorites. One of my others is also by Jim. He has an impressive ability to drag you in and keep you interested throughout the entire series, even through the mundane pieces. This particular book is the most emotional of the series and it brings you close to all of the main characters.

Thanks Jim

Excellent

Book 4 set the stage for what is anticipated to be a great finish. Butcher has become my favorite author! I thought I was just a fan of the Dresden Series. This series, however, has clearly established that I'm more a fan of the author!

Best so far in the series... On to Book 5!

I love this series. I have no problem listening. I really wish Butcher would do a 7th book.

Great

I was recommended this series by Audible. Skeptical, I listened to the first in the series and have been hooked ever since. Excellent character development. You find yourself really wanted to know what happens to each and every character. One word of warning, once you start this series you might as well get them all, you will not want to stop.

Wonderful and Captivating
