Finished reading in the wee hours this morning. I enjoyed it very much, though I kind of object to the "steampunk" attribute I saw in early reviews. I think Butcher has held too much back about the world. I have a lot of unanswered questions.
Spoiler:
What's the deal with wood? Why is there so much of it in Habble Landing and not elsewhere? Why the spires? When were they built? What happened to make the surface so dangerous?
Loved the POV of the cats. Liked the various characters, particularly the etherialists. All in all, a good book and I'm sad I have to wait so long for the next book. What surprises me, though is the number of negative reviews at Goodreads.
