codex_aleraHey, while I'm not exactly new, I've decided to make a post because I'm just twitching to discuss the series here. Frankly, I'm a little daunted by the official forum, haha.
Not much of a first post...
I just want to have some fun the these 10 questions.

I just want to have some fun the these 10 questions.
Why did you start reading the Codex Alera series?
I started reading the Dresden Files, but found out that urban fantasy isn't really my cup of tea. (I'm not really partial to first person narration either.) But when I found out that Mr. Butcher had a good ol' classic fantasy novel (FoC, at the time), I jumped on it. I wasn't exactly blown away with FoC, but I'm really glad I stuck with it.
Who is your favourite character?
It had been fluctuating between Max and Fade in books 1-3, but now my favorite character is Ehren because of his awesome-ness in CaF. :P
Do you think Gaius makes a good First Lord?
Gaius is sneaky. I wouldn't like him as a person, but I can admire the leadership qualities he has. So yes. He's a good First Lord given the circumstances.
Do you believe Tavi will ever have a fury of his own?
Well, going off from that, I think it'd be sweet if he would "take" a certain grouchy mountain as his fury... or inherit one from Septimus. Or both.
If you had to align yourself with one of the High Lords, which would it be?
Antillus, solely because of Max and Crassus. They're cool.
What is your favourite scene/moment inFuries of Calderon the whole series?
There's so many, but in CaF, Araris gets pwn'd by a swinging wood-fury-ship door. It was a highlight that stuck with me. Also, I like how there's a dramatic shut-up-and-quit-your-angsting slap across the face in each of the books. (Expect Foc, I think. Odiana did slap Isana though.)
Okay, but for reals though; when Tavi announces that he's Octavian to Crassus and everyone kneels. Dramatastic.
If you had a fury, what element do you believe it would be?
Water. That was my favorite type of Pokemon. :P
If you were sent to Alera, and could take one item from our world with you, what would it be?
Book 5.
What do you hope to get out of this community?
Fun, discussion, relief from waiting for book 5, andLIFE LONG FRIENDS.
Please explain your lj name.
I'm a musically inclined sort of person and my first name is Tanya. I... lack creativity.

There were more moments in this book than in any other when I either literally laughed out loud or had to stop reading so I could wipe my eyes and blow my nose.
