Chronicle In Favor Of Books Academ's Fury (Codex Alera #2)
For centuries, the people of Alera have relied on the power of the furies to protect them from outside invaders. But the gravest threat might be closer than they think.Tavi has escaped the Calderon Valley and the mysterious attack of the Marat on his homeland. But he is far from safe, as trying to keep up the illusion of being a student while secretly training as one of the First Lord's spies is a dangerous game. And he has not yet learned to use the furies, making him especially vulnerable.
When the attack comes it's on two fronts. A sudden strike threatens the First Lord's life and threatens to plunge the land into civil war. While in the Calderon Valley, the threat faced from the Marat is dwarfed by an ancient menace. And Tavi must learn to harness the furies if he has any chance of fighting the greatest threat Alera has ever known . . .

I gave this series a good second chance to win me over. There are many reasons why it didn't succeed:Potboiler romance, shallow characters without development, predictable story is the best I can say. Though it's packed with action, it feels repetitive and you have to search for worthwile and important scenes. I had to skim through the pages to endure and reach the end. I hoped for world building and interesting developments of the furies' magic system - but in 700 pages, nearly nothing new wasActual rating: 4.00
3.5 stars. It was good, but not exceptional. There's nothing new here, just a decent, solid old-fashioned fantasy story competently told.
I don't spend much time on reviews for later books in series' and this won't be any exception. If it's utter garbage then I'll lay out more details but as you can tell from my rating, I enjoyed this second book in the series. It had been quite a few months since I read the first book so I was a little concerned about getting back into the world. It took a few chapters but fairly quickly I was thrust back into Alera with Tavi, Bernard, Amara, Isana and my favorites, Doroga and Walker. Some
The second novel in the Codex Alera series picks up two years after the first one (Furies of Calderon) ends. Tavi is now a student at the Academy in the capital city while really being trained as one of the First Lords spies. He remains magic-less, unable to call upon the furies but he makes up for that with his intelligence and cleverness. Meanwhile, back in the Calderon Valley, Amara and Bernard team up with Doroga and his clan to face a new threat.This second book really solidifies the world
Another action packed installment of a great fantasy series. I didn't know where it where it was going to go after the first book but was floored when it was every bit as good as Furies of Calderon and possibly exceeding it. In Academs Fury we get to see Tavi grow as he studies to be a Cursor. We get multiple stories going again with many of the characters from the first book. In addition we are introduced to some new intriguing characters one of my favorites being Tavis best friend Max. Kitai
Academs Fury is the sequel to the Furies of Calderon though it doesnt necessarily read like a sequel. Full of action, political intrigue, and characters I will now follow to the ends of the earth, the Codex Alera is a series Im now committed to 100%. As I mentioned previously, Academs Fury does not read like a sequel for the most part because of the nature of the plot. The novel follows Tavi as he navigates school and training to become a Cursor. With this type of plot comes the typical tropes
