Opa (Jim) is not only a book aficionado, but my dad as well. He emailed me about this series when he read our favorite series post, and was so complimentary that I thought I'd post it for you all.
Codex Alera Series, by Jim ButcherAdult, 2004 - still being published
First book: Furies of Calderon
“Codex Alera series (the 6th book gets published in the next few months) gets an ‘A’. The protagonist and his love interest are the most intriguing I’ve encountered. The magic is believable and Butcher has the ability to develop characters through story rather than character descriptions. The cultures he develops are second to none – some aren’t human and you still care. Edge of your seat stuff."
And there you have it!
Meanwhile, Trackgeek is reading The Red Necklace, and finishing up the Percy Jackson series. I'm (Raspberry) getting ready to read Sacred Stars (sequel to Skin Hunger) and The Sweet Disorder, but I do have the Silver Blade on my shelf. However, since I own it, I'm considering taking it with me on vacation in November....we'll see if I can wait that long.
