It was a slow start because I hadn't been able to read the earlier books. Who were all these people with similar sounding names (who turned out to be on different sides)? Anyway there were a few "unexpected" plot twists, but once the action started I couldn't put it down. Before I knew it the book was down. Over all I found it satisfying for what is was Boston Chicken for the mind. And there are also a few good things to look forward to in the next book. El autor demuestra que no pierde el hilo con la historia, que es fluido, que tiene descripciones bien echas a pesar de que este no sea una saga totalmente inolvidable ni extraordinaria no se puede dejarla a medias porque no es mala, simplemente le falta un plus que la haga memorable. Tenes los condimentos de la evolucion de los personajes en su lugar en especial el principal, la historia es creible, podria haber resumido muchos echos y llegar con la misma suavidad a las revelaciones esenciales aunque por ahi pecan de ser comunes en libros de fantasia y otros generos. Espero que me sorprenda con algo mas en el par de entregas que me faltan. De todas formas es mejor que los libros con contenido Young Adult mas basicos.

Tavi has done the impossible and fought a war against the Canim for two years now, holding them in place and building the trust of his followers to impressive levels. But now a new foe is coming for him--a foe far more terrifying than the Canim, or even than the Vord (who are much less interesting when you don't see them on screen for a book or two)... politicians. Characterwise, Tavi remains among the best part of these books:
Although to be fair, the characters surrounding him are well done as well. Kitai is just different enough to be interesting and Max/Ehren/Crassus shine in both Legion and Cursor scenes. You want to root for Amara and Bernard, pushed through as much as they are, even when things go sidewise--although that hike across what feels like most of Alera could certainly have been shorter. The Senator earns the hate coming his way. There aren't huge strides in world building in this book, mostly filling in the cracks. But one thing... do you remember how in [b:Cursor's Fury|29394|Cursor's Fury (Codex Alera, #3)|Jim Butcher|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388360145s/29394.jpg|6614461], I commented on how awe inspiring it was to see a High Lady let loose? Well. Now you get the First Lord himself. Oy. We'll leave it at that. Overall, this is probably the weakest book of the series since the first, but only because there has to be a weakest book. It's still a wonderful read and I couldn't put down my headphones through long parts of it.
