* What kind of a name is 'habble' for living spaces? But this is a far-future Earth setting, and the Spires were made by post-21st century humans, who'd presumably use our naming conventions. Add the mentioned thousands of years since the spires were made, and presumably resulting {{Mondegreen}} makes the etymology obvious. 'Habble' is a corruption of 'Habitat Level'. Or possibly 'Habitat Bubble.'

* Most of the technology uses etheric energy, but there are occasional mentions of steam engines as a backup or for small technology like rifles. We're told wood is extremely expensive, and coal mining operations seem unlikely since only madmen chance the surface. So what do the steam engines burn for heat?
** At one point, Grimm uses power from the ships power core to heat tea. They could easily use the ships power core to boil water to power steam turbines for locomotion.

* The Enemy is capable of possessing silkweavers, creatures which are covered in magic-repelling armor. What kind of power must It have to overwhelm such defenses?
** In the authors other series possessing a magic system part of the rules state "you cannot defend against yourself" in the Dresden Files Series this is meant that if you lent somebody your power you make yourself open and vulnerable to them. Since WoG (aka WoJ) has hinted that possibility that all his stories are inside one multiverse the same rule may apply here and The Enemy has some magical connection/deal with the Silkweavers.

* While reading, I wondered what kind of a name was 'habble' to denote the living spaces. Then I remembered this was a far-future Earth setting, and the Spires were made by post-21st century humans, who'd presumably use our naming conventions.
