Dang it. I don't know what happened with this book. I loved the writing, the setting, and was growing to love the characters too. But it just. hasn't. grabbed me. I don't feel compelled to pick it up. I waste half my lunchbreak on my phone instead of reading. And when the library notice came in that...

Jim Butcher is one of my favorite authors and I thoroughly enjoyed the Aeronaut's Windlass. The world is interesting and I am looking forward to more world building and character development in the next books in the series. I loved the addition of Rowl the cat and I think this book would be appropr...

Frequently, it's really hard for me to talk about a new Jim Butcher book without it just being, Aaaaaah! Fanboy! Gush, gush, squee! Drool! Squee! and More Squee!, and I really wanted to do more with this book, so I wanted a little distance. Alas, almost three months later, I'm still not going to be ...

No rating from me. I can objectively say this is a very good book with lots of clever world building and talking cats! It's just not for me. I'm beginning to realize that I like the idea of an exciting new steampunk fantasy series far more than I actually like steampunk fantasy. Also, I was hop...

I read this whole book, but I found it so difficult to stay focused on. I believe I'm probably confused about several things. I'm going to break down what I think is a summary of the world, but I could be way off. I reckon some of the soldiers are animal/human hybrids. At some point in the past ...

I'm just gonna say it now: this book didn't really work for me. Sorry about that. There is a ton of action and interesting worldbuilding, and if you can get pulled into the story, I think it could be a lot of fun. Oddly enough, I suspect that the core of my discontent can be traced to the omniscient...

Jim Butcher’s new steampunkish fantasy series, “The Cinder Spires” is fresh, complex, exciting and very very easy to get into. I was barely three chapters in to the seventy chapter long “The Aeronaut’s Windlass” when I knew I was hooked. I found myself stealing time during the day to listen to just ...

The ladies here at Badass Book Reviews love Jim Butcher. Most of us are readers of The Dresden Files, and as big fans of his novels as we are, we awaited the release of The Aeronaut’s Windlass on pins and needles from the moment the news of a new series broke. I know that I personally was excited,...

I did enjoy this book. my favourite character was Rowl, but I found it tedious in places and I think some chapters were really not necessary.

Fighting along side this group is a pair of etherealists, individuals who are sensitive to the ether waves, giving e...
