The Sea With may be my favorite character in this series.

Loved the Duchy of Ships - before we've either had land or underwater, but being AT sea while not IN it was fun. Also loved Pete, in retrospect maybe less for herself and more because of who she brought out in Dianda and the Ludaieg. Loved the solution found to the ominous fate we've been warned about for several books. Got annoyed at the murder mystery plot for once, I think mostly because the villian was just annoying.
Also, what the HECK is Marcia's deal?

I'm starting to have some issues with the pacing as we get on into the series. I know that there are a *lot* of side characters, but I wish that instead of spending time with them in novellas they just showed up in the actual book more. I did love the bits with the Luideag, she's my favorite.

Geez, Gillian was annoying. But, wow… Toby is so fucking awesome! I love how she’s fully embraced being a hero. Let’s get to book 14!
