I have mixed feelings about this. I love the codex, and I’m really excited about a new book coming out ( I always am.) But the conclusion… Oh well, maybe this means that the Dresden Files will be coming out twice a year…
I’m quite sad to see this series come to an end.
Ah the end of another great series. Oh well, maybe he’ll soften up in a few years and come out with more in a related, but not Tavi-centric series. Maybe about the next Princeps or if Amara and Bernard have a child. Maybe about Masha. Who knows? There’s always a chance.
Well, since Ji won’t have to “switch” between stories anymore, I vote for 3 Dresden Files books a year. :oP
(Er, actually 1 a year with the same quality is better than 2 lower quality ones, in my opinion)
The Codex Alera is so amazing! I hate to see it come to an end…but I can’t wait to see what Jim has in store for his next work!
Actually I am pretty sure Jim is going to keep the Dresden Files to one book a year. I read somewhere he was planning on having other books to file in the spot for the codex. Not necessarily a new series.
Already finished with FLF. Saddened that the series is over, but very, very happy with the way things were wrapped up.
The only thing I’d have liked to see… should have let us see Senator Valerius get eaten by vord!
It is sad to see a very entertaining series come to an end…..but i would rather it does not become stretched out. This series lasted as long as the story needed to be told and it is honestly great that Jim isn’t trying to prolong things just to make more money.
Since he has created the world of Alera,
New stories could be from the future or the past.
What an adventure loved it from start to finish…so sad to see it end.
I am sad the series has come to an end, if it means no more books about Alera. On the other hand, the cliff-hangers at the end of each book made the year between long….
I hope he will find books to write about the world, not necessarily a series.
And, there are still stories waiting –

…and I am sure there are more areas to be explored, if the mood strikes.
🙂
gee, thanks for the spoilers in that comment. Would hate to have to read the book myself.
I’m almost half way through Cursor’s Fury(book 3) right now and can’t wait to read the rest of the series. I wasn’t much of a reader until I found the Codex Alera series. Thanks Jim.
Read it, finished it, loved it.
I hope there are more stories, perhaps about Doroga and the Marat, about the Canim, and others.

just finished it and was left with a lot of questions
thinking theres another book as a lot of strings were left untied
Well, Jim, if this was your warm up for how to end Dresden in the coming years, I say you are more than ready to take the mound. Not that I am saying I want to see Dresden end soon. 🙂
It was a great book, Thank you for the great world you created.
That was absolutely amazing and exhilarating to read. Oddly, I don’t feel like there absolutely needs to be more, although so many more stories could be told about it–any possibilities of short stories, maybe? But it definitely came to an end, and a satisfying (if question-filled) one. Then again, I suspect it’s the sacred right of the author to drive his readers insane by not telling us things.
But that was easily the best book of the Codex Alera, in my opinion. Thanks so much for it, Jim.
Have not read FLF, but have been a fan since Furies of Calderon. My copy of FLF is on the way to me here in Singapore, and hopefully I will read it during the holidays. No matter how the series end, I am grateful for Jim Butcher for bringing a new world in my life. I am now ready to switch to Dresden…
