  <default-description>The power-hungry High Lord of Kalare has launched a rebellion against the aging First Lord, Gaius Sextus, who with the loyal forces of Alera must fight beside the unlikeliest of allies-the equally contentious High Lord of Aquitaine. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Meanwhile, young Tavi of Calderon joins a newly formed legion under an assumed name even as the ruthless Kalare unites with the Canim, bestial enemies of the realm whose vast numbers spell certain doom for Alera. When treachery from within destroys the army's command structure, Tavi finds himself leading an inexperienced, poorly equipped legion-the only force standing between the Canim horde and the war-torn realm.</default-description>

The story started really slowly in the first and second books, but with the third, the action has really picked up and I think Butcher is doing a LOT better with his fight/battle scenes as well.  The character of Tavi is one that I'm not ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5351680">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[<em>Cursor's Fury</em> is the third book in the larger Codex Alera.  Tavi, apparently the only person in his country who doesn't have a fury (an elemental who essentially performs magic), has now left the Academy and is on assignment for the First Lord himself.  He has been assigned to a new type of Legion, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2696033">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Oh man, this was so awesome (very minor spoilers below)!  I adore Tavi so much.  And I loved Max's brother, and I really am going to write that Kitai/Tavi/Max fic I've been planning.  I love Kitai.  Basically all the parts with Tavi were AMAZING, and luckily they were the vast majority of the book....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2594663">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[OOps, skipped the third book, but that's ok cause this one FINALLY captured me.  Reading the first two was painful, and if I didn't love the Dresdin Files so much I wouldn't have continued, but I kept hoping Butcher would deliver.  And this one finally does.

Gaius Sextus, the First Lord of Alera, plants his nephew Tavi in a new legion, where Tavi can gather information on the rebellious High ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12452752">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Still really enjoyed the story, but it seems to me that the author is getting sloppy, or being rushed. <br/><br/>I wish the author would stop doing completely irritating chapter cliff hangers. Also character development could be a bit smoother and for my own personal taste a bit faster.<br/><br/>Oh ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69250759">more...</a>]]></body>

About three quarters of the way through, when it didn't seem that Tavi's story was going to wrap up, I looked in the back and found out that there is a fourth book and I have been told that there is also a f...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41843503">more...</a>]]></body>
