Summary
After bitter fighting, Tavi of Calderon has eventually forged an alliance with Alera's oldest foes, the savage Canim, and he must escort them on their long sea-voyage home. This will strain their fragile accord - but the worst is yet to come.
The inhuman Vord have spent the last three years laying waste to the Canim homeland, making it a desolate place indeed. Then the Alerans become stranded there, cut off from their ships. The Canim alliance will be tested as they enter the killing fields together, depending on each other's strengths if they both are to survive.
For 1000 years, Alera and her furies have withstood every enemy, and survived every foe. The 1000 years are over.

good, with random trumpets
good book, rolled along nicely, I kept feeling that a line two was missing sometimes. the narrator did a good job on the voices, not so good on the spacing between pov sections and chapters. and the editor loved random trumpet fanfares

5 down 1 to go...
I suppose the risk of binge listening to a whole series is that the story starts to feel a little bit "samey" compared with previous instalments....it all just sort of blurs into one long battle.
That said, if I really stop and think objectively about this book #5, there's nothing wrong with it. The story is completely consistent with what has gone before; the plot is developing and the characters are developing. Tavi is just as creative in his solutions as before, and he's growing up too. The Canim add a new dimension to the story too - and the author has tackled their societal interplay with the Aleran's cleverly. Nothing to dislike. Perhaps I'm just experiencing battle fatigue.?
And....straight onto book #6 (clearly not that fatigued).

Great story - shame about the editing
The Alera Codex is a great story, I have read the series and really enjoyed revisiting the story with audible. The editing really lets it down though. Throughout the series there are clipped words, skipped pauses and an odd disjointed feel. Also the trumpets…why they are included at all I’m not sure as they don’t add anything but they are also put in the strangest of places so that a big break/change of scene gets nothing whilst there are trumpets in the middle of nowhere? Doesn’t stop me enjoying it but could be better.

Great series. Took a while to get into it
Took a while to get into it but then couldn't stop. Very different to the Dresden Files

Loving it but the the editing is bad
The book is good but the Production is lacking. It will some times skip ahead randomly although not often. And I was hoping that we were done with those damn horns after they were not in the last book, but no they are back.

A great read
Jim Butcher doesn’t disappoint with the Alera codex. I can’t wait to read the next one.

Great episode from a great series
Characters and the plot were as good as I have come to expect. There was a little padding here and there but not enough to make me want to skip forward.
The only really annoying thing was the stupid trumpets which seemed to appear from nowhere and did absolutely nothing for either the plot or the performance.

The stupid fanfare returns.
All great as usual except that bloody poor editing fanfare to cover some editing breaks...
