They’re one of Jim Butcher’s other two series, Codex Alera is 6 books long & totally finished, no short stories. Same quality you expect from Dresden Files, but set in quasi-Ancient Rome. Humans have one nation, & fight against all other races. No Wizard magic, but rather humans have “furies,” elemental spirits that allow them to control their element (fire, water, earth, air, metal, & wood). Society is built around those with the most powerful elemental magic, & our main character has no furies at all, thus no magic >:) The start is a lil disorienting, as if you had just started reading the Dresden Files at Blood Rites , but you get background information as you read. Expect no exposition.  Overall 10/10, I love those books.
