Publisher's Summary
Since time immemorial, the Spires have sheltered humanity, towering for miles over the mist-shrouded surface of the world. Within their halls, aristocratic houses have ruled for generations, developing scientific marvels, fostering trade alliances, and building fleets of airships to keep the peace.
Captain Grimm commands the merchant ship, Predator. Fiercely loyal to Spire Albion, he has taken their side in the cold war with Spire Aurora, disrupting the enemy's shipping lines by attacking their cargo vessels.
But when the Predator is severely damaged in combat, leaving captain and crew grounded, Grimm is offered a proposition from the Spirearch of Albion-to join a team of agents on a vital mission in exchange for fully restoring Predator to its fighting glory.
And even as Grimm undertakes this dangerous task, he will learn that the conflict between the Spires is merely a premonition of things to come. Humanity's ancient enemy, silent for more than 10,000 years, has begun to stir once more. And death will follow in its wake.
Critic Reviews
"The characters are well developed, Harry's trademark motormouth is still intact and the pop culture references keep flying. It's at times funny, thrilling, disturbing and sad - but you can never say it's dull." ( The Bookbag on Ghost Story)
"Butcher's storytelling is satisfying on a level that's bone deep; from his knack for crafting suspense, to the multiple reversals of the final confrontation, to the surprisingly heart-rending dénouement." (io9.com on Ghost Story)

Steampunk Butcher - another voice
Loved the narrator, had just the right tone for this style of story. Clear articulation, perfect accent and dulcet on the ear. I have had to listen twice to get the world, the characters and the story straight in my minds eye. Fresh from Harry Dresden this is different all round. The world building is great and yes, the cats are spot on.

Careful if you are a dresden fan...
What would have made The Aeronaut's Windlass better?
Characters I could care about.
What could Jim Butcher have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Not my job to worry about.
Did Euan Morton do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
He did a reasonable job.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Aeronaut's Windlass?
The whole book...?

Fun
Yay - a bit of swashbuckling fun. (I seem to have listened to a few heavy tales of late, and this was a bit of light relief).
Well crafted, with top narration. Great new world. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Couldn't fault it. Jim Butcher at his best.
(and the Cat completely stole the show for me).

Brilliant Epic Fantasy with a dollop of Sci-Fi.
Where does The Aeronaut's Windlass rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I can't in good conscience claim that it is the best book I've ever read but it's refreshingly different to most 'epic fantasy' novels. A fantastical yet somehow believable world combined with some likeable characters makes for an extremely satisfying read.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I don't want to give away anything about the story or the characters although since reading it I have found a new appreciation for cats.
Any additional comments?
I particularly enjoyed the little nods to the Wheel of Time series. One could almost believe that this book is set several millennia after Robert Jordan's series finishes.

Disappoimting
First of all I normally like Jim Butcher's books: in fact there is only one of his I have not managed to get through (Proven Guilty).
So why did I not like this book, it lacked a certain amount of originality a lot of the story has been done before in different books. For example the cowardly arrogant Commander plus the war (honor Harrington), the weavers ( the film tremors ). Even the attraction between two of the characters was similar to the Codex Alera books.
It was also very long winded and it took a great deal of effort to listen to it all the way through.
I would say I liked certain of the characters, especially Folly.
But I would only recommend die hard fans of Jim Butcher read/listen to it.
If you have not tried his books before start with the Dresden files and the far Superior Codex Alera Books

Major Fail!! Terrible Narrator!
I love the Jim Butcher's books, especially the Dresden Files, I've read all of them. (James Marsters is always faultless and a superb narrator). However, I was soo disappointed as I couldn't get into this because of the horrendous narration. If you're American you probably won't mind (i.e. won't notice because of the British accent) but being a native UK Londoner the narration is really, really annoying and grates unbearably.
The narrator sounds like a eleven year old boy reading out aloud for an elocution lesson. He speaks in an "over" pronounced weird way, (and still trips over his own mouth), and because of this he has a very strange, unnatural rhythm to his words, putting a very peculiar emphasis in the weird places.
Due to this I could not persevere long enough to find out if I actually liked the story :( The naval ship battle transferred to the sky sounded like a dry description of very boring mundane manoeuvres. I'm pretty sure it was just the narration at fault. I hope another narrator will be found, until then I'll give this a miss or try reading the book instead.
That said, if you're American or non-native speaker you are less likely to be so bothered. (I'm a Jim Butcher fan, so surely it must be good? lol).

Stick with it past the confusion of the first hour
This is complex new world building and absolutely no time is spent explaining the world's 'rules' or background, the reader is just thrown in the deep end. For the first hour I was just listening to random elements that I struggled to fit into a bigger picture. But once the story gets rolling it's a surprisingly simple one, dramatically told and easy to follow. It's just that the author doesn't want to spend time explaining the world to the reader, he wants you to get to know it through the events that take place. It's an enjoyable 'pirate romp', and I'll happily read the second one when it comes out. But there is a surprisingly unquestioning quality to the loyalty to the leader, and rigidity to the 'born into power, or born into service' philosophy that is increasingly uncomfortable to go along with from American writers in a Trumpian world. It's a militaristic society where the young from the well off families join the 'guard' and are trained to kill, and we're supposed to see them as heroic. We need to believe that our protagonists are the 'good guys' and although the story is clear in its black and white morality we surprisingly begin to doubt whether we are following the right people, and I really don't think that the author wanted that doubt. Looking for a bit more grey between the black and white next time. Listened at 1:20 speed which sounded right.

Not quite steampunk (aetherpunk maybe?) but great!

Excellent performance, but poorly written.
What disappointed you about The Aeronaut's Windlass?
The writing was very average compared to Butcher's other series, and I was not completely absorbed by the story. Suitable for a background distraction, but nothing more.

Utterly fantastic! I feel completely refreshed by the original, yet comfortingly old fashioned style of this book! Everything about it I have loved! I didn't want it to end. I put off listening to the last hour and a half until I knew no one would disturb me and because i didn't want it to be over! next book needed... not wanted.... No, NEEDED! Fantastic! I'm so excited for what will happen next ! if I start to talk about Rowell I might never stop! spectacular.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A good start.
The story is engaging enough, the world new enough, the characters interesting enough, for a new series to get its hooks inside and make you wait for the next installment.
That said, the audiobook both excells and suffers for the same aspect. The narrator does an excellent job at creating the minor changes of voice that describe wonderfully a full cast of characters without sounding strained ; however for much of the book he seems to struggle with remembering which voice belongs to which character and thinks can get damned confusing if you're not paying very close attention. Somehow the cat even seems to suddenly become a Midwestern American on a few occasions.
In all I would recommend the story but with the caveat not to expect an epic or moving tale.

Well worth a look, a new series to look forward to
I really liked this new fantasy offering from Jim Butcher, author of the fabulous Dresden series. I didn't find his previous fantasy series (Codex Alera) easy to get into, but this book really captured my imagination. I was disappointed when I got to the end as I want to know what happens next. A fast paced fantasy with airships!

Promising start
I love Jim Butcher's other work, and hoped this would be as good. The world is finely detailed, the characters well rounded and engaging. The only thing i had am issue with was that the story tales a very long time to get going - this is clearly the start of a series. I'll definitely be checking out the next one though, as there's a lot of depth here that promises to get really interesting.

A very creative magic system with fantastically original characters. The action is top notch. But it is the characters that make this story so amazing.
It is.very well read. A lot of different voices as well as perfect changing of tone and volume make the story come alive.
I highly recommend giving this gem a try.

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Story
Jason arrives at a kingdom in peril and he's surprised to discover that it's not his job to save it. With the authorities fulfilling their responsibilities (for once), he looks forward to some quiet time to rest and recuperate. The locals might not find ceaseless monster onslaughts and an interdimensional invasion relaxing, but Jason has had a rough few years. He's doing his best to let go of his anger. While his team is caught up in duty, Jason has no shortage of people looking to interfere with his rest. Enemies—old and new—are circling, and even would-be allies are trouble.
