Captain's Fury by Jim Butcher
3.0
Tavi made a mistake.
It's good, because I was starting to think he was a bit of a "Mary Stu"...
Finally got a little bit more about how Furies work. That they can be "willed" to another person. Also that a person of "high potential" can attract "many Furies" to themself.
"Though they looked solid, they were made from raw, red flame, glowing a hostile angry red."
'Red' twice in one sentence? Come on.
Right. So.
Still good. Somehow not quite as good as the previous.
A lot did happen. Things are still happening. Very important things. I'm hoping we're finally done with the High Lords trying to overthrow the First Lord. Mostly that was because people thought he had become weak, and since he had no heir there'd be conflict anyway over succession.
But now we've got Octavian. He's proven himself to be every bit his father's son, and therefore a fitting heir.
Lord Aquitaine could still pose a problem. Particularly since
So, I guess we'll see.
I enjoy the parts with Varg and the Canim. They're kind of Klingon-esque. I look forward to seeing more of them and their homeland. Maybe learn a bit more about their society, the actual people.
I still don;t think we know all there is about Furies. Tavi still doesn't have his own, but I know
3 out of 5 stars. I'll be starting the penultimate book next.

Gaius was going to 'adopt' him, making him the heir.So, I guess we'll see.

he'll get one. Partially because I accidentally spoilt myself. But, also, it almost has to happen. We can't go through all this and end up without.3 out of 5 stars. I'll be starting the penultimate book next.
