Publisher's summary

For 1,000 years, the people of Alera have united against the aggressive and threatening races that inhabit the world, using their unique bond with the Furies - elementals of earth, air, fire, water, and metal. But now, the unity of the Alerians hangs in precarious balance. The first lord of Alera has fallen in his efforts to protect his people from the vicious attacks of their enemies. Now, the fate of the Alerians lies in the hands of Tavi, a young man who must use all of his courage and resourcefulness to save his people.

Everything is fine

It's fine, with both books so far I struggle to get through the first 1/4 of the book and as it spins up I get hooked and by the end I'm into it. It's not ground breaking or anything but it's a fine fantasy book. The characters are pretty interesting and well thought out, but though I get annoyed a little with the main protagonist from time to time.

Is Something Missing?

I. The middle of the book, the story seems to skip all of a sudden to the main character being kidnapped and being kept near water. But it doesn’t tell us anything of how that happens. Did a chapter get skipped in the reading of it?

Great, but not as good as the first book.

2nd fury! is not as good as the first book. I do believe though that it is setting a wonderful story for the rest of the series though. I would recommend it to anyone.

Part of chapter 50 is missing

The story is great; however, part of chapter 50 is missing from the audible recording. I called audible and was told it should be fixed in a week. I saw comments in other reviews dating back a few years so we'll see if it's actually fixed.

Even better than the first!

I loved the first book far more than I was expecting to and then this one comes along and just tops it in every way and even finding a way to scare me!
