Book Review of Academ's Fury (Codex Alera, Bk 2)

Academ's Fury (Codex Alera, Bk 2)
reviewed on


For centuries, the people of Alera have harnessed the furies-elementals of earth, air, water, wood, and metal-to protect their land from aggressors. But no fury can save them from the dangers they face within. A mysterious attack from accross the sea has weakened the First Lord. Should he fall, a bloody civil war is inevitable. The responsibility of fending off assassination attempts and treachery within the First Lord's circle of spies falls on Tavi, the one man with no fury to call...

I enjoyed this book, though I felt lost at times because I never read the first of the series. It seemed to switch back and forth between characters and I got confused, but it was interesting enough to keep me reading to the end.
