This is very different from the Dresden Files; it’s steampunk with very different characters. You may like one and not the other.
The world-building here is excellent and makes a great foundation for the story. The characters are easy to remember and distinguish. All the heroes are endearing, and the villain is chilling. I also love the cats in the story. Butcher has obviously been owned by cats, and this is a must for cat lovers. There are lots of battles and action sequences involving invaders and icky monsters. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I tend to zone out on those after a while. There’s not much plot otherwise, but at this point it’s more of a character story. (I was also kind of confused by the title since it was stated that the main airship in the story is not a windlass.)
Overall very enjoyable. Excellent audio narration by Euan Morton.
