Description

In this extraordinary fantasy epic, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Dresden Files leads readers into a world where the fate of the realm rests on the shoulders of a boy with no power to call his own...
 
For a thousand 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, wood, and metal. But in the remote Calderon Valley, the boy Tavi struggles with his lack of furycrafting. At fifteen, he has no wind fury to help him fly, no fire fury to light his lamps. Yet as the Alerans’ most savage enemy—the Marat horde—return to the Valley, Tavi’s courage and resourcefulness will be a power greater than any fury, one that could turn the tides of war...

    No stop in the motion, one dangerous moment leads to the next. With a little romance and laughter sprinkled in for good measure.
  • This is a masterpiece!

    This is going to be my third time reading this series. I keep forgetting how masterfully written it is. This book grabs you, shakes you up, turns you upside down and shakes you up again. Once you begin reading, putting it down is wrenching. Kudos to anyone with the sense to look in.
  • Amazing!

    Not the best of Jim Butchers writing, but you will need to read the book to get to the better books later in the series.

    This book succeeds on every level as an epic fantasy. It's action packed, yet has a good amount of and diverse characterization. It succeeds in blending elements of humor, sexuality, love, villainy, depravity, heroism, violence, magic etc. that one expects from fantasy. There really isn't anything bad to say about this book in my opinion. If you're a fantasy buff like me, who might not worship or are bored with the seemingly endless influx of grim/dark tales, this book could be a welcome respite. A+!
