FIRST LORD'S FURY / Jim Butcher & read by Kate Reading / 465 Pages / 5 Gold Rings (December Challenge)

FIRST LORD'S FURY is the sixth and final volume in Butcher's 'Codex Alera' fantasy series. Kate Reading's performance brings life to each character, giving the listener an enjoyable experience.

Gaius Octavian (Tavi) has returned to Alera to find a huge and deadly Vord army about to destroy his homeland. After a life spent in one battle after another, he now faces the longest and most brutal battle of all. In addition, Tavi's lover, Katai is insisting on being properly courted according to both Aleran and Marat customs. Tavi and his legions must take a stand to defend his people and it will take all his intelligence, cleverness, and new-found furycraft to survive, hold on to Kitai, and save their world from total destruction.

Butcher's 'Codex Alera' series is those who enjoy fantasy, plenty of fast-paced action, magic, battles, and touches of humor. Listen-alikes to consider would be The Measure of Magic: Legends of Shannara by Terry Brooks or Faith of the Fallen by Terry Goodkind
