I never got into the Codex Alera myself. I finished it, but it did not rank high on my list... The first chapters of the Aeronaut's Windlass needs to introduce the characters of course. They will flesh out more as the story progresses (most of them), as you learn more about them and their motives. If the story hasn't clicked with you at the moment they arrive at Habble Landing, it will not click at all I think.
