I think this did a pretty good job at conveying the kind of Victorian/peak empire era, though I wasn't quite sure why it wasn't historical fiction rather than set now but the same as that period?
Overall was a fun adventure full of magic and the power of imagination and a 'the real enemies are the rich who are stealing from you' and 'the world can be horrible and people can do awful things when they're scared but it can be better' theme I enjoy in books
Didn't initially realise this book was inspired by Blake but it was a nice surprise to see all the references dotted throughout. I thought all the different doors were cool and again felt very Blake especially the grain of sand and I enjoyed the feeling the history in everything.
