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.

That is too bad. Dialogue is pretty important in
Aeronaut's Windlass more than the action, IMO. It does feel a bit dated, but that probably comes from the genre. What I really loved about it is how the spoken words usually got the character in deeper trouble. Either by backing it up by action, or by being rewarded with a even worse response.
