TEASER TUESDAY - Jim Butcher's FURIES OF CALDERON

I love to read around the Tuesday’s Teasers hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.


If you want to play along:

• Grab your current read.
• Let the book fall open to a random page.
• Share two (2) sentences from that page.

When you select a sentence, try to make sure the Teaser doesn't stray into Spoiler territory.


If you share the title everyone can track the book down, when the section you have posted has drawn them in and has them desperate to read a whole lot more :D


What would Harry Potter do when he grew up? I have been a Butcher girl for a very long time: I read Dresden Files at the same time as I devoured the adventures of "the boy who lived."


FURIES OF CALDERON


The story takes place in the Aleran Empire. Most people there are "crafters" who can control the elements: water, air, earth, fire, wood and metal through their bond with the element's fury.


THE CODEX ALERA: Book 1


This book, by Jim Butcher, was written for young adult readers.

She started blinking her eyes again, slowly gaining back her vision - as she did, she saw Odiana standing over her, just out of arm's reach, smiling, her dark eyes glittering. She took a step, and with one dainty, bare foot, she kicked more dust into Amara's eyes.


That has got to make a girl furious ;)


I've found the style a little different but the story is cutting into my sleeping hours and that is a good thing :)


I'M READING BROAD-SPECTRUM FANTASY AT THE MOMENT, DO YOU HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MY TBR LIST?
