Las Furias de Alera

The way the furies interact with the world felt very detailed and unique. I wonder what inspired the creation of such a layered magic system.

The story’s focus on diplomacy and power struggles made it stand out, but I’m curious if others found the combat scenes as compelling or more so.

Some parts slowed down for political scheming while others rushed into action. I’d love to know if this was a deliberate choice by the author.
