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.

I'm glad it's not just me! I love her writing, but even well-written battles (especially naval or aerial ones) tend to lose my interest.

I like the books very much too.

Have you noticed that if you fast forward with too little attention you miss key plot points? I have annoyed myself with this.

I have noticed that, and I get annoyed with myself when it happens, too. Fortunately when it does happen, I usually know where I need to look to find the information I missed the first time -- I guess it helps to be consistent in one's inattentiveness?

I tend to glaze over, if not skip over, the battle scenes as well. I personally like the books a lot better when Napoleon is way off stage.

I did enjoy his cameo in... the fourth book, I think? But otherwise, yes, I much prefer it when he's on another part of the globe than the protagonists.
