I'm rather ashamed by how much I adore Hakim's girls. They're so well used (…er…) in the story. They're just wonderful (in their voiceless nameless way [*weeps*]).
It's been a long time since I read the later volumes, but I decided that my Emma ends at the end of vol. 2, when Emma leaves London. I felt that up until that point, it was adorable and perfect and true to the time. After that, it was mostly adorable and lovely, but not Victorian anymore. (Then again, the Jones family is a family of merchants, but… )
