Under Tavi of Calderon, heir to the crown, war-torn Alera rebuilds while politicians and nobles vie for power. But from the south comes news: the dreaded Vord have come to Alera. For a thousand years, Alera and her furies have withstood every enemy and survived every foe.
Review:
I haven’t too overly much to say about this book except: this book dragged. It was a trudge to force myself through this book, which is probably why not only did it take me quite a while to finish it, but I also read several other books before finishing it.
Like usual, there were moments when you really wanted to see what was going on from one character’s perspective while jolted back to another character. While everything that happened was necessary, it seemed to take a very long time for anything in particular of substance to happen and stick. There are a lot of little victory, and some very heavy losses.
After reading this book, I knew I had to finish the series, and I hoped it wouldn’t be as much of a trudge as this one. (It wasn’t.)
