If Cursor's Fury was the most disappointing of the series, Captain's Fury is arguably the most rewarding. Events in Alera are now well afoot, with few prime movers without blood on their hands. Tavi's training in cursor's pays off in the series' best scene, near the climax of this volume, a scene I consider one of the best pieces of fantasy fiction I've ever read. Captain's Fury is, in many ways, the culmination of the series. The story will continue, but this is where the series pays off, with its conclusion almost obvious from this point forward. (4/5 Stars)
