There has been talk of the next Codex book being the last in the series, has anyone heard news of a prequel.  As you mentioned in your time line, the beginning isn't very flushed out by references in the current books.  I for one would like to read about how the original furies compare to the modern day versions.  If the First Lord's fury is anything to compare, she seems to be a reasoning person not a pet like the rest.
