What if everyone in your world had magical abilities except you? In Alera, where even lighting a lamp requires magic, Tavi is in just such a situation. When the realm falls under attack he has only his mind to help save himself, his family, and the whole of Alera.
Furies of Calderon follows several characters through the web of conflict that threatens their lives. Overall the story is engaging and enjoyable, but can seem slow and overwhelming at the beginning due to the complexity of the world and situations you are thrown into. There are graphic violence scenes as well as some
sexual content. While the sexual scenes are few and not significant to the story, they tend to focus on the characters feelings of “hot need.”

As far as a romping good tale goes, I would highly recommend this book, if you can get through the overwhelming nature of the first quarter. However, the level of sexual content is inappropriate for young readers. A parent wishing to black out the sexual content in this book could do so without marring the story.
This book sounds very interesting. I may have to check it out. Thanks for the review.
