Literature Analysis 4 (EXTRA CREDIT)

               So, I read a 700 page book called the Academ's Fury which is by Jim Butcher. It is book two in this series. Just to recap what I wrote in my last literature analysis, Furies are controlled by people. People with water furies can heal, tell if people are lying, change their appearance, and drown people in air. People with Earth furies can use that as transportation and ride the ground and also have a considerable amount of strength with every blow they do with their swords. Air furies help people fly or control the strength of an arrow flying through the air. Fire furies can light lamps and cause destruction to the ground around them. There were way to many things going on in the book, so I'm just going to hit the main points...Towards the beginning, Gaius, or the High Lord, was using his powers too much and exhausting him to the point of fainting and sleeping through the whole book. While he was asleep, Tavi, the main character, had to make sure no one knew that he was powerless. If people found out about his condition, they could start a civil war to try and over throw him. While that secret is trying to be kept, a evil creature of somesort called the Vord has awakened. The Vord can go into people's bodies and basically change them into these zombie like creatures. The people that they have taken over arent alive any more and have no idea that that they are attacking, when they do. The many Vord people that have been taken over have been old people to children to even soldiers. Lots of them have been changed by the vord and small armies have been developed. One of the armies tried invading the high lords palace and another one took over a small town and almost killed some of the main characters and their army. That was so stressful to read....

This book had so much foreshadowing. I could give examples but this book is fantasy and it would make abslutely no sense to you and I would have to go into great detail to explain a whole another race of creature in this book. I will say that Tavi's, the main character, parents both died when he was young, The high lord mentiones something about his son who died at the end of the book. It took me a while to figure this out, but I found out, I think, that the high lord's son who died was Tav's father which makes the High Lord Tavis uncle, but Tavi doesn't know he has another uncle. This book is so good!!! I have just started book three and I hope it is just as good as this one!!
