1	The ''Literature/DeepgateCodex'' is awesome.

3	----
4	* Carnival.
5	** She's ''introduced'' as a OneManArmy, but her beautiful [[HesBack She's Back]] in ''God of Clocks'' clinches the deal--she's been given up for dead by all the main cast, and yet she breaks out of Cospinol's pot, has Maybe John shatter most of her bones so that she can fix them, [[OneHitKill takes out Cospinol in one strike]] (AND EATS HIM), beats the crap out of John Anchor, ''beats the crap out of a goddamn river'', and then continues to reject Menoa's illusions until she breaks out of them completely--[[BigDamnHeroes just in time to save John Anchor and Alice]] ''and end the war with Menoa bloodlessly'' because the Failed and Menoa's soldiers '''are too damn terrified of her to fight her'''. ''Yes, please.''
6	** Her triumph over her [[AbusiveParents abusive father]], Ulcis, the whole reason she was so crazy for so long.
7	*** Similarly, the way she [[Literature/HisDarkMaterials Iorek]][[ShoutOut -Byrnisons]] Cospinol. ''Right after she had to break most of the bones in her body.'' [[HesBack She's Back]], all right.
8	*** ''She eats them.'' And the second time, it cures her monthly need for blood. How is that not awesome?
9	** The ''Manhunt'' chapter. She took down a whole goddamn airship! ''With a [[ImprobableWeaponUser gardening fork]]!''
10	* Rachel's very first [[BulletTime Focus]]. It's the one skill that's evaded her for years, and yet she manages to master it ''just'' in time to bring Dill BackFromTheDead.
11	* Carnival, Rachel, and Dill's fight to get back to the surface as Deepgate falls.
12	* Watching Dill slowly become a badass while in Hell. The way he [[ItMakesSenseInContext takes care of a troublesome door]], not to mention his PreMortemOneLiner, jut reeks of awesome.
13	* The way that John Anchor handles Devon in ''God of Clocks''. The SmugSnake has managed to reduce Alice to a [[HeroicBSOD sobbing wreck]] and is trying to {{Blackmail}} them into assassinating Carnival, Rachel, and Dill. Anchor does not take kindly to this--and takes the box Devon is in and ''turns it upside down''. Simple as that. It had the bonus of being [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments absolutely hilarious]], too.
14	* Dill managing to kill about as many people as Hasp and definitely more than Rachel ''as a ghost'' by hopping from person to person. As Mina put it: "Ye gods, look at Dill." Considering [[NonActionGuy how]] [[ActionSurvivor he]] [[InnocentBystander started]] [[TheWoobie out]], this is definitely a shining moment for him.
15	* '''[[NeverMessWithGranny Ayen]]'''.
16	** Rachel's Focus has no effect on her ''at all,'' and Ayen just ''tells'' her to [[ScrewPolitenessImASenior stop running around because it's annoying]].
17	** [[InTheBlood Hasp and Carnival had to have gotten it somewhere]].
18	* [[PapaWolf Sal Greene]] at the end of ''Lye Street'', deciding to renege on his DealWithTheDevil: "Time to die, dog fucker."
