Academ's Fury

Codex Alera, Book 2

In Furies of Calderon, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher introduced readers to a world where the forces of nature take physical form. But now, it is human nature that threatens to throw the realm into chaos…

For centuries, the people of Alera have harnessed the furies—elementals of earth, air, fire, 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 across 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...

awesome content, love the story

the only thing I dislike about the performance is the horns that sound almost at random.

I’m a narrator snob

This one is great! Story is good, with solid, multidimensional characters. Not the depth of Red Rising or Name of the Wind, but a satisfying “read”.

Give it a chance

Thought I would hate it, but wife convinced me to try it anyway even though it isn't Dresden and I am glad she did- on par with it, but isn't Dresden.

Very good!

I enjoyed the book as always and thought this reading was much better. I'm not sure of the specifics changed, but I thought this was a much better performance than the first one.

love this series

I have listened to the entire series three times now. the books take you to another world. Kate Reading is a fantastic reader with a distinct voice for each character that holds true over the course of all five books
