Sally Strange commented on The Aeronaut's Windlass by Jim Butcher (The Cinder Spires, #1)
Dang this book is LONG. It's action-packed, maybe a bit too much so. Also, "Albion" has negative political overtones to me and it's a bit dismaying that this does not seem to register with Butcher at all. It's giving British Empire and I wish he were a bit more self-aware about that.
The cats are awesome, though, and the airships are cool. Sticking with it!
