Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series

[Billtrumpet25]

Hi, all:

I thought, seeing as there's already a thread for Jim Butcher's Dresden files, there should be one for his fantasy series as well.

I'm not picky--this thread is for open discussion of this series.

Enjoy!

I thought it was quite enjoyable. Still have to read the last 2 books, but haven't made time yet. The story on how the books came about is interesting.

Jim Butcher was talking with someone and made the statement that a good author could turn anything into a good story. The other person challenged him to make a good story out of the Roman Legion and Pokemon.

You're kidding! That's funny--second guy was quick on his feet, I'll tell you that.

Nope, serious. Here's a link to an interview where he mentions it.
