Everything about the previous book remained delightful in this one. Playing "oh, hey, it's that guy!" but with 19th century speculative fiction is one of my favorite games and Goss is getting quite good at writing the flavor of the times without getting too much into a Dickensian style or slipping up. And the conceit of characters interjecting into the narrative has grown on me since the last book.
Definitely my kind of book.
