I'm Back! Well Sort of Kinda of

I would like to apologise to my followers for being absent for quite a fair while. There have been some big changes in my life recently.

I recently gave birth to a healthy little boy and he has been taking up a huge chunk of time (as Im sure you can imagine) and I have had little time to read. It has taken me two months to get half way through my current book (eeek) and I really like it!

Previously before that while I was pregnant I was really ill throwing up every day so was not overly motivated to read let alone blog. Also for some strange reason nearly everything I did manage to read I hated. Bizarre.

Also me and Goggle Reader have been having issues. Hopefully I have finally worked them out so I can start following your blogs more closely. There was also a new laptop so I lost a lot of my book marked blogs oopss!

So I will not really be participating in weekly meme's for the time being and hopefully reviews will start to pick up as things settle with my life and I can better allocate time to reading. Also you will no doubt see more children's books appearing on here.

Thanks for your support!

First Lords Fury (Codex Alera Book 6) by Jim Butcher

Rating: 5 out of 5

Tavi returns for the final installment of the Codex Alera series. As the title suggests Tavi is now the First Lord and is returning to Alera, with the aide of the Canim, to help fight the Vord who are ravaging the country. Alera is in ruins and the remaining population are cornered and fighting desperately to survive.

The Alera series has been a good fantasy series by Jim Butcher who is best known for his urban fantasy series Harry Dresden. This is not a heavy fantasy like JR Tolkien.

All the characters from the series have returned for this installment and their individual story threads are wrapped up nicely by the end of the book.

The story its self is more focused on the war then previous books. Also Tavi's role as a leader and idea's man is pushed to the limits. There were some amazing battle scenes especially when the furies are used.

A good fun book that is not to heavy going. If you enjoyed the previous five books then this will tie the series off for you nicely.
