If you've read the earlier Codex Alera books, then you're likely very fond of Tavi and his friends. I think that this may be the best one yet. You get a fuller sense of his story and that of his father.
If you are looking for a story full of adventure, friendship, loyalty and intrigue - this book will not disappoint!

Having started reading Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, I was not expecting the Codex Alera series at all! I fell in love from the very first page of Furies of Calderon and I stayed in love all the way through the last page of First Lord's Fury. Captain's Fury is a superb milestone in the series, with amazing action and a wealth of emotion. I couldn't put it down, just spent a couple days buried in this book (in much the same way I read the others of this series). For any reader of epic fantasy this series, and this volume in particular will not disappoint. This book rocks my sox off, and it will do the same to yours.

I am becoming a fan of this series more and more. So far, this is my favorite book in the Codex Alera series. Although it took me a while to get into it, the last half of the book is griping.
I'm at the point in the series where I feel like I "know" the characters as real people and actually care what happens to them. With "Captain's Fury", major turning points are made not only with the characters, but also with the relationships between them. I would like to give examples, but I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone.
Looking forward to reading the next book in the series, Princeps' Fury.
