Aeronaut's Windlass
Hate to repeat what others have already said, but I am now officially done reading Aeronaut's Windlass. Slower than most everybody else, maybe, but finished at last.
A few things: What an interesting style of writing - even the boring stuff (what boring stuff?) is entertaining. Actually most boring stuff without action is key to success - the dialogue. Jim gets away with continually lecturing us, explaining thing, but without being that talking head. No Bob the Skull here. He explains it by one person telling it to someone else. I have one questions that boggles my mind. Well actually quite a few. But this one is a mystery: Spoiler:
Another thing of interest: Spoiler:

It would be a stretch, as going from ginger to grey is hard to explain. But who knows how one loses a tail. Maybe old cat, but I haven't heard of cats becoming grey as they age.

Let's play favourite quote ...
If there was only one quote out of The Aeronaut's Windlass which is your favourite, which one would it be?
As I just created this game I go first, obviously. My quote I picked from chapter 56 (Kindle loc 6475): Spoiler:
