For a novice writer's first published work, it's frickin' awesome. The second novel suffers a bit from being, well, the middle novel of an intended trilogy, but the third reforms itself in admirable fashion.
Note the caveat clause at the beginning of this post, though. Novik's a bit rocky in places, though it may be the anachronistic narrative voice she's chosen. I'm willing to cut her some slack.
