The bit about Quicksilver that put me off was that it was hard to see where all of this was going. Great characters, fascinating dialog, lots of fun seeing situations and locations from this period and this point of view. But, um, why? The second book had two fairly clear objectives across the two story lines and followed them quite doggedly.
I think (hope?) that the goal given to Jack at the end of the second book will provide the linkage through the third book that will keep me from asking why. :-) But we'll see.
