I enjoyed the series as a whole - there were twists and turns and I liked that - and things were wrapped up completely and I am not left with anything unanswered - this was the final battle and the results of everything within the series and I feel that things came full circle quite well - without spoiling, there is a scene near the end of the book that calls back directly to the beginning of the series - though intentional (I'm Sure) I wonder if Jim Butcher knew how symbolic it would be when it happened in book one, or if he made it so six years later - either way it worked well, and was a completely cool way to end the battle - the epilogue was unneeded, but I know that there are people that want the final resolutions that are not within the general chapters of the story - but, as a whole, this was a fun and interesting journey that has come to a close - I wonder if there will be a second series later in the timeline or if this is it for Alera - but well done, and highly recommended for High Fantasy lovers.

This is the last in the series and I very much enjoyed the series. It is not mind bending, it is not full of surprises it is good old fashioned fantasy and magic with main characters that are enjoyable, honorable and mildly conflicted. The supporting cast is both what you would expect and what you probably enjoy most when choosing this type of fiction. My only criticism is that after reading the rest of the series some of the themes that are detailed in each multiple times got a bit repetitious. Since the books barely stand on their own without reading the others it seems the repetition could have been mitigated. However, I especially enjoyed the underlying theme of different cultures banding together against a foe that would destroy them all. I thought the books did well to illustrate that the cultures had strengths and weaknesses even those that were only lightly investigated such as the icemen. I also appreciated the thought put into the consequences of certain new tactics. From an engineering stand point the attention to the difficulties inherent when using items in new and unusual ways (spoiler Ice Ships) showed a depth of consideration that is easily glossed over in this genre.

Having discovered this author via the Dresden files I was pleasantly surprised by his excellent foray into Fantasy.
I love Jim Butcher's writing style--and thank God I do, otherwise I never would have been able to make it thru 6 volumes of the Codex Alera. I love that he can build a scene as finely detailed at he does, but halfway through book 5 I was thinking about abandoning the series (which I HATE to do) but there *is* such a thing as *too much* detail! Seriously, this could easily have been shortened to maybe 4 books, but I can see why he felt the need for disparity between novels to fall where they did.
Butcher is great at creating characters that are easy to love --and love to hate, for that matter. Kitai and the Marat could have been fleshed out a bit better, though. For all his detail, you'd think he would put a little more into his main character 's only love interest and her people. But the thing I kept finding myself wanting was more background and lore of the Furies. Shoot-- the title of all 6 books included the Furies--and we're just supposed to use our imagination to fill in the (fairly gigantic) gaps?? Come on, man! If we had your imagination, we wouldn't need to read your books, now would we?
This is the culmination of the Codex Alera series, and it goes out with a bang. Tavi is coming back to Alera leading a most unusual army, only to find that his fellow Alerans are up against the wall with the merciless Vord crushing their greatest strongholds and killing their strongest furycrafting lords. At least by this point, Tavi is finally coming into his own furycrafting strength, but even he is no match for the might of the Vord. Then again, Tavi has always been smarter than he was strong, and he makes good use of that in this final war.

In addition to Tavi and his crew, we see some fine performances put in by the remaining furycrafters. Even Aquataine puts in a good show. But nothing compares to the rabbits Tavi’s uncle Bernard manages to pull out of his hat. Much of those particular tricks had their origins as wild ideas from Tavi years before, but Bernard has taken them to their most impressive ends. Perhaps the most world-shattering moment comes at the command of Bernard, as a hundred commoners throw down a demonstration of power that would completely spend a High Lord’s power… and then do it again the very next minute, and the next, and the next. It was one of those moments where even as the reader you stick her head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.

I won’t spoil the end, but I’ll just say that it was quite satisfying. Just about everyone got what they deserved, in one flavor or another. In particular, the epilogue was good, tying up a number of loose ends and giving some hint about what was to follow in the years and decades ahead. As one character said, the interesting times were definitely over, and yet it felt the new story of Alera was just beginning.

So, if you’re contemplating this series – particularly if you’re struggling through the slow first book, Furies of Calderon, give it a shot. The road to the payoff is long and fun, and the payoff is definitely worth it.
