Summary
 In the final novel in #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher's acclaimed Codex Alera series, the people of Alera—who use their unique bond with the elementals of earth, air, fire, water, wood, and metal for protection—must face the ultimate conflict…

For Gaius Octavian, life has been one long struggle. Battling ancient enemies, forging new alliances, and confronting the corruption within his own land, he became a legendary man of war and leader of men—and the rightful First Lord of Alera.

Now, the end of all he fought for is close at hand. The brutal, dreaded Vord are on the march, using fear and chaos to turn the Alerans against one another, and forcing those who will not submit to flee to the outer reaches of the realm.

Perhaps for the final time, Gaius Octavian and his legions must stand against the enemies of his people. And it will take all his intelligence, ingenuity, and furycraft to save their world from eternal darkness... Action & Adventure Epic Epic Fantasy Fantasy Fiction Military Rage

I understand that this series came about because of a dare! The author had said "that a good writer can take any concept and make it great!" ... So someone challenged him to write about Pokémon and the Roman legion! I'd say he proved his point and I got one of my favourite series ever. I also can't say enough about Kate Reading and her narration ... she has so many distinct voices and cadences .. love her work.

Excellent from beginning to end!

I was going to give this a lesser rating, because the series was over, but decided against it.

I am truly impressed at Jim Butcher's storytelling abilities. He's given us a protagonist who is not perfect, an antagonist who is not evil, but must nevertheless must be destroyed, a villain who remains evil, another villain, redeemed, romantic subplots handled without being stupid, enemies who remain enemies while gradually becoming allies, and bad things happening to good people.

And he does this within a completely believable setting that combines equal parts history, fantasy, and science fiction.

Alera still stands!

Super finale to a remarkable story. Loved the endings for all of the characters I came to care about. Also resonated to the way the 4 groups of humanity came together to meet the alien woord. My favorite fantasy series now, replacing Robin Hobbs 9 Fitz books.

Brilliant ending
