Hi! I'm looking for a book series I read a long while back about a beardless dwarf. I don't remember any names or anything, but I remember a lot of random little notes about the series!
- The main character is a dwarf that, at the start of the first book, has not a single hair on his chin. With each book he gained one, though! Or, at the very least, he did for the two or three that I read.
- His full name included "The Mad" or something akin to it. This is due to an older relative who chose to leave behind the dwarven mines in pursuit of becoming a shipwright.
- Dwarves in this world are noted to sink like a rock. Very, very unsuited to the seas.
- He befriends the cook of a pirate ship! The guy sticks with him because "The captain instructed me to look after you".
- One of the later books is about a queen of thieves from what I recall!
- I remember the dwarf befriended a siren, and at one point had her join him on land for an adventure (through a very selkie-like situation). He then later joined her in the seas for another.
- It just came to me as I was typing this, but I remember a moment involving a dragon who, I thiiiiink had a library as a horde?
I couldn't find it anywhere, and I really want to reread it!
