codex_alera | I'll kick us off...

Here's my answers to the ten questions.

Why did you start reading the Codex Alera series? I had been reading Jim's other series The Dresden Files when it was announced that he was starting a new series. I read the synopsis, thought it sounded interesting, and got sucked in.

Who is your favourite character? Kitai.

Do you think Gaius makes a good First Lord? I think he's been a good First Lord for the Alerans, but I do think his time is nearing an end. He's not young anymore, and it's more difficult to keep up with everything that is currently being thrown at him.

Do you believe Tavi will ever have a fury of his own? I believe not having a Fury is part of what makes Tavi special, and interesting. But I also feel through things Gaius says in Academ's Fury, that Tavi may yet come into his 'power'...perhaps he'll end up with an ability beyond the Furies.

If you had to align yourself with one of the High Lords, which would it be? Aquitaine. Yes, they may want Gaius out of power, but so do all the other High Lords we've met thus far. At least the Aquitaine's don't seem to want un-necessary bloodshed.

What is your favourite scene/moment in Furies of Calderon? Kitai and Tavi's 'bonding.'

If you had a fury, what element do you believe it would be? Either Watercrafting or Metalcrafting. Those seem to be my elements in real life anyway.

If you were sent to Alera, and could take one item from our world with you, what would it be? A spork. [don't ask]

What do you hope to get out of this community? Talk to people with similar interests, maybe some cool graphics.

Please explain your lj name. Monkey in Chinese Zodiac, Scorpion in traditional Zodiac.
