I love Mildmay too, & yes, I squeed re: your spoilers too!!
The worst part was that when I read this book I didn't know (& iirc the damn cover copy didn't mention it) that it wasn't a stand-alone book. Arrrgh. I hate that.
Also I never managed to wrap my head around the weird system of times & dates. I'm not a math person, but I'm not the only person I know who stumbles on that, & that's part of the reason I had a hard time getting started when I picked this one up.
