I highly recommend Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series. In the beginning it leans quite heavily on juvenile pulp, but they are short and unique and charming enough. By about book 3 or 4 it reaches a brilliant level that shouldn't be missed by anyone curious about urban fantasy. The audiobooks are great as well, and can make any mundane or monotonous time fly right by! 
 For a more serious take on classical fantasy, his Codex Alera series is very well done, with a very compelling hook. Definitely worth checking out for fantasy enthusiasts. 
 That's all I wish to say about The Aeronaut's Windlass. 1.5 stars.
