Well, I'm afraid to say that I have abandoned The Aeronaut's Windlass. I just couldn't get into it, finding the dialogue stilted and the characters and settings unlikeable, in my own opinion. Maybe I'll try again when I am in a different frame of mind and mood. I found the Furies to be similar at first, and when I went back again, I thoroughly enjoyed them.
On the plus side, I am very much enjoying Rivers of London. Having read quite a few British cop procedurals, I really enjoy the slang and cop talk coupled with the wizarding aspects.
