Something else I think he did well was the incidental diversity. It was never particularly important to the story that a character was bisexual or had a prosthetic; rather, they just existed in the world, as they have every right to. The author's use of dialect, which is present on nearly every line of dialogue, might bother some readers. I never had a problem following the speech, but if it's a problem for you, there's no escape from it.
One thing I didn't like was less the fault of the book and more a problem with the marketing/cover copy, and that was that I had been promised an airship adventure. Unfortunately, that's not what this book is about. This book is the prequel to the airship adventure(sadly, not yet written), but is itself very firmly grounded. It features sky pirates, but is not a sky pirate adventure. Maybe one day he'll revisit this setting and we'll get to see Jacqueline all grown up and ready to take to the skies.
