I read this after Night Circus, and perhaps because of that, it took me a bit longer to settle into this. A few motifs were similar to NC, such as the paper birds and the rooms given over to whimsy and dreams rather than just books/stories, and so it was less magical than what I experienced with NC. It felt more familiar.
I'm still a bit confused by the honey sea and bees and the ending. Maybe requires a re-read.
Beautiful imagery and stellar characterisation, once again.
