Calderon

Furies of Calderon (Codex Alera, Book 1)
$7.99
I really enjoyed this book. Clearly, this is the set up for the longer, more epic storyline, but the author made the most of it by introducing not only the interesting characters, but also the textured world, social structure, and magic system.

As much as I liked the overall plot, there was nothing terribly novel about the main story, but it was presented nicely.

The best touches to my mind were the unexpected villain on villain horror and the magic, which allowed each fury its own strength and weakness, but also a secondary magic effect for each particular variety.

This book gets four stars from me because of the imagination and promise of future novels. The author did a very nice job of introducing his world and the rules of that world, while capturing it in a pretty exciting plot.

I look forward to future novels in this world.
