PRINCEPS' FURY / Jim Butcher, read by Kate Reading / 400 Pages

The 5th title in his 'Codex Alera' series, PRINCEPS' FURY by Jim Butcher,
continues the story of Tavi, now revealed as Princeps Giaus Octavian, heir to the First Lord of Alera.

Following the events of Captain's Fury, Tavi and his legions are escorting the Canim invaders back to their homeland, only to find Carnea has been decimated by the dread Vord. Enemies must join together and fight side by side if they are to have any hope of surviving, much less escape.

Back home, the First Lord and the people of Alera are struggling to recover from the ravages resulting from the revolt of High Lord Kalare. Then word comes of more destruction and death in the south - the Vord have come to Alera and learned how to use fury craft.

Kate Reading engages the listener's attention with her distinct voicing of each character, including deep bass Canim and emotionless Vord queens.

For those who enjoy intricately plotted, fast-paced, epic fantasy.
