He may have the same issue with Temeraire that Russ does, which is that Novik apparently can't write aerial dogfights for shit. I haven't read it because I'm just not that into Hornblower-style fiction, dragons or no dragons.

Uprooted is a horse of an entirely different color. No military overlay at all; it's a trope-busting reworking of elements from fairy tales (mostly Eastern European, and the culture in the story is very Russian-influenced). It's up for a Hugo this year, and I'll be voting it either #1 or #2.
