A review by book_bird_anja
Die Verschwörer von Kalare by Andreas Helweg, Jim Butcher
3.0
2.5/5*
Codex Alera 3 is the weakest book in the series so far and I was somewhat disappointed. I found it difficult to stay focused during the middle portion, as it was quite dull. The characters remain likeable, but there is a lack of depth in terms of character development and the story. The story feels extremly streched and on the other hand the ending feels rushed. The main plot line involving the threat of a new species invading is barely addressed, so much of the story feels unnecessary. There are some nice surprises at the end that give motivation to move on to the next book, but overall Codex Alera 3 does not live up to the promise of the first two books.
