Jim butcher codex alera6/26/2023 What distinguishes the Codex Alera, as with much fantasy, is its magic. No electricity, slavery, feudalism-the whole nine yards and then some. Let's not labour under any misconceptions: this is your typical medieval fantasy setting. Gaius has no heirs, so there's a group of other lords who are planning to rebel, first by goading the non-human barbarian Marat into attack Alera through its only pass, the eponymous Calderon Valley. The story takes place in Alera, ruled by First Lord Gaius Sextus. If you're really interested in how they stack up, skip to to the end. I'm going to try to avoid comparing the Codex Alera to Butcher's urban fantasy, the Dresden Files. Furies of Calderon is everything I like in a fantasy series. It took me several years after discovering Jim Butcher to actually read his epic fantasy series, the Codex Alera.
