When the power-hungry High Lord of Kalare launches a merciless rebellion against the First Lord, young Tavi of Calderon joins a newly formed legion under an assumed name. And when the ruthless Kalare allies himself with a savage enemy of the realm, Tavi finds himself leading an inexperienced, poorly equipped legion—the only force standing between Alera and certain doom...

"I felt the first book of this series was okay, nothing particularly special though. The second book was MUCH better, and with this one, the series really hits its stride. Epic, high fantasy despite the lack of elves and dwarves. Excellent, excellent. Can you tell I liked this book?"
— Janice (5 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
Butcher deftly mixes military fantasy and political intrigue in the rollicking third Codex Alera book...Readers will cheer Tavi every step of the way.
— Publishers Weekly -
The author of the Dresden Files modern fantasy series is equally familiar with old-style, ‘classic’ fantasy, demonstrating his skill in complex plotting and vivid world crafting to masterly effect.
— Library Journal -
Plenty of military action and some interesting revelations about Tavi’s past make this one of the best volumes yet in this entertaining series.

Cursor's Fury Listener Reviews

" Good book. Not as exciting as the first two but definately filled with action. The whole series has been very formulaic which has made each read enjoyable so far. "
— Joshua, 1/31/2014 -

— Jenny, 10/8/2013 -
" Another great book in the series, some parts were a bit too drawn out for me as compared to the previous two books, but kept my attention. Some great reveals at the end of the book, can't wait to continue on to the next in the series. "
— Marjolein, 8/10/2013 -
" Totally EPIC. Answers so many questions that are formed in the second book, and has non-stop action during the last 2/3 of the book. I defininitely recommend this series, the author is very gifted. "
— Joshua, 3/30/2013 -
" A recipe fantasy book. The writing is sometimes simplistic but good enough to bring you along (if annoyed at times). "
— Andre, 8/12/2012 -
" Probably my favorite of the series so far-- And the ending is such a great cliffhanger. I love this series! I am totally sucked in. "
— Mary-Helen, 8/2/2012 -
" Story finally began picking up "
— Clint, 5/10/2012 -
" Once again, a complete shock at the end. How does he do it? I want to say they're unbelievable or out of place, but they're not. It's not normal for me to be snowed so completely, but Butcher can do it! It would have a higher score but, like always, there's sex and swearing. "
— Laurie, 4/10/2012 -

— Josephine, 9/28/2011 -
" Another fast-paced, incredible installment in Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series. Tavi's now a cursor and all of our favorite characters are growing too. The development is great and just such a delicious read!!! "
— Piat, 5/24/2011 -
" I am caught up in the characters and can't quit reading the series even though the author's ability to get me to suspend my disbelief is weak. It does keep me going and wanting to know how Tavi is going get out of it this time. It also seems to me that the titles are off. "
— Susan, 4/25/2011 -
" See my comments for Book 2 of the Codex Alera series "
— Sara, 4/1/2011 -
" Great series, not one of those that is repetitive "
— Allie, 3/26/2011 -
" Still loving these, and I am also plowing through them quickly.... can't wait to finish the series, and then go back to re-read! "
— Melissa, 3/22/2011 -
" Wow, I read that fast. I'm already pretty far into the next one.<br/><br/>This book started out slow and almost bored me, but when I hit about a quarter of the way into it I was hooked. Jim Butcher may not be Steinbeck, but he does know how to keep a reader engaged. "
— Troy, 3/14/2011 -
" I'm very into this series. Book 2 left you wanting to hit book 3. Cursor's fury was fast and I even enjoyed the military battles. And it leaves you wanting to get to book 4 which is Princeps Fury.<br/>Love the characters, love the magic.... "
— Lynne, 3/12/2011 -
" The series is really starting to get good. I enjoy the cool new ideas and conflict introduced here. "
— Gregory, 2/23/2011 -
" Probably my favorite of the series so far-- And the ending is such a great cliffhanger. I love this series! I am totally sucked in. "

" I think this was my favorite of the six. Tavi grows into his adulthood, bringing his friends and family along with him. "
— Jerjonji, 2/20/2011 -
" As odd as it sounds, I'm starting to get a little exhausted with the levels of never ending adventure and crisis in these books, will there ever be a moment when the bleep doesn't all hit the fan at once? But have to find out what happens next.... so..... on to book 4. "
— Gloriavirtutisumbra, 1/29/2011 -
" My absolute favourite of the series. I couldn't put this book down, and had to pick up the next one right away! "
