À propos de ce contenu audio

For 1000 years, the people of Alera have united against the aggressive races that inhabit the world, using their unique bond with the furies - elementals of earth, air, fire, water and metal. But now, Gaius Sextus, First Lord of Alera, grows old and lacks an heir. Ambitious Lords manoeuvre to place their Houses in positions of power, and a war of succession looms on the horizon.

Far from city politics in the Calderon Valley, young Tavi struggles with his lack of fury crafting. At 15, he has no wind fury to help him fly, no fire fury to light his lamps. Yet as the Alerans' most savage enemy - the Marat - return to the Valley, his world will change.

Caught in a storm of deadly wind furies, Tavi saves the life of a runaway slave. But Amara is actually a spy, seeking intelligence on possible Marat traitors to the Crown. And when the Valley erupts into chaos - when rebels war with loyalists and furies clash with furies - Amara will find Tavi invaluable. His talents will outweigh any fury-born power - and could even turn the tides of war.

This book is apparently the result of a bet in which J. Butcher claimed he could write a story inspired by Pokémon and he did a great job! I could easily see this book being turned into a tv series or cartoon.

The story had great plot development and all the characters were great but the the best part imo was the hero reversal.

Tavi is a normal boy who loses his flock of sheep because he likes a girl and gets distracted. He goes looking for the sheep and somehow finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Usually the hero has some sort of special ability or super power, but Tavi is as normal as they get and reacts to threatening situations like most of us would… running away truly is the smartest thing to do sometimes! Although he is an ordinary person, his actions helped a lot. I’m curious to see how the rest of the story will develop.

Enjoyable
