Granted, considering its origin, it doesn't deserve much respect

Can you elaborate on that?

Codex Alera started as a drunken bet between Jim and another party that he couldn't write a series on just two wildly disparate concepts. They were "pokemon" and "the lost Roman legion" lmao idk about your feelings but book series founded on foolish drunken bets probably don't deserve much respect. This is a wondrous exception to that rule.
