Background
“Princeps’ Fury” is the fifth book in the “Codex Alera” series by Jim Butcher. The Vord, a deadly and mysterious enemy, are back and now they threatens to overwhelm Alera and its people. Tavi took the Carnim back to their homeland but find the Vord have taken that places as well. With the help of his loyal friends and allies, “Octavian” must rally his forces and use every tool at his disposal to defend his homeland and defeat the Vord. Along the way, he faces personal struggles and difficult choices that test his character and his commitment to his people.
My Thoughts
Not a bad book but I liked the previous one better. I’m just not that excited about the Vord and I hope the resolves in the next book as something better than just beating back these zombie-insect-things.
Again, the reader isn’t disappointed by the author’s imagination and story telling. There are some pretty disturbing images in a few parts but the majority was fun.
Recommendation
Not my favorite in the series but still not bad.
