Series: Codex Alera
by Jim ButcherI cannot recommend this series. The plot lines of books two through six are so similar that I burnt out on it and even after the final book came out, I debated whether or not to buy it for six months. There are things about the series that are good—the magic system is very interesting and unique. The world is large enough to provide new settings in each book. And the main characters are well-written. The the author's credit, he really makes his main character struggle and earn it in every book. But the rest was too repetitive for me to rightfully recommend.
