Review of "Cursor's Fury (Codex Alera)" on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Definitely better than the first two books. It seems [a:Jim Butcher|10746|Jim Butcher|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1205261964p2/10746.jpg] is actually becoming a better author as he goes along.

I feel like he's really good at coming up with interesting stories, and interesting characters, but there's so many little inconsistencies and things that just don't make sense in the details that it hurts his story-telling. This book still had that to an extent, but they were few and far enough between that I could easily forget about them and just get lost in the story.

Some of his foreshadowing is a little too obvious at times, but not so much that it hampers my enjoyment.

I really liked the further character development that's taken place in this book. Seeing Tavi grow and become a great man is just so fantastic. And Jim Butcher tells it so well.
