I'm reading this for the first time, and am about 40% in - the ship has just left port. I'm enjoying it so far, but I agree with you that some of the dialogue reads oddly. For example, in one of John Faa's speeches, you have "If I stay my hand in the North .." (the speech of a well-educated orator) versus almost immediately afterwards "you’re a doing what I always warned you agin" (the speech of an uneducated person). It doesn't spoil my enjoyment of the book; it's just a small jarring note.
