Finished #3!

3 down, 49 to go!

I finished book 2, Academ's Fury, of the Codex Alera series. After 2 books, this series keeps getting better. In this book, new character's and intrigues are introduced that continue the plot lines started in the first book. This book starts 2 years after the events in the first book. The main character, Tavi, is a second year student at the Academy, as the patron of the First Lord. In this book, we learn a lot more about Tavi and how his intellect and bravery more than make up for the fact that he has no ability to furycraft. Once again Tavi is at the core of a plot to overthrow the First Lord, and he has to foil the realm's enemies to keep their kingdom from crumbling into civil war.

Additionally, the author continues a sub plot from the first book, involving the Vord. A mysterious race of parasitic beings that can destroy civilizations. Our heroes foil the plans to overthrow the First Lord.....for now. On to book 3, in the series!
