The Codex Alera books are hard to classify. To some extent, they're historical fiction about Roman legions. But they're set on an alien world, so it's science-fiction. But some people are able to manipulate elemental forces, some of which are personified, so it's fantasy.

In any case, it's not finished yet, so it's a series!

in some aspects the protagonist Tavi (Octavian) reminds me of Richard Rahl from the Sword of Truth series.

The "Vord = Borg" comparison has been noted by other reviewers.

I have loved the entire Codex Alera series. The only problem I have with the listening experience are the random horns that sound throughout the books. #Audible1

It amazes me how Jim Butcher. can develop his story with such detail a d his characters are compelling to say the least. It is told in such an incredible manner that you don't realize that it is one woman. Two great talents put together makes for perfection.

Much like with Academ's Fury, this book was formatted with mini 2-5 minute "chapters" which did not sync at all with the book's actual chapters. So much like my rating of that book it loses a star due to this formatting issue. Otherwise I'd give it a 5/5. Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series is awesome.

Again with the mini chapters
