I really wasn't into her relationship with Eckles (Eclis? wish there was consistency across the translations for names) because it was just... kinda icky? Penelope acts pretty weird when she's with him and his behavior made me cringe LOL. I almost wished Penelope had just left him alone. But pretending to be subservient to try and bind her to him makes Eckles more interesting to me. Waiting for shit to hit the fan.
