I'm reading that series, but I haven't gotten a copy of the new one yet.

I'm reading them, but since I already know I love the books and trust Novik, I'm considering not reading the new one for a few years, letting a few more books in the series pile up on my shelves so I don't have to wait years between each new book. Or maybe I'll decide to read it this week!

Yes! I haven't read that one yet. I thought... she did an okay job addressing the European colonialist attitudes toward Africa in book 4? (BY HAVING THE AFRICANS BEATING THE PANTS OFF OF THE EUROPEANS, BOO YAH.) But I've heard she more or less ignores them in Australia. So I'm being a bit shy of this book?

I'm reading them, but I think you're the one loaning them to me so you already know this?

I like them very much, even though I'll admit I fast-forward through some of the battle scenes.
