I also started this book expecting Charming Hilarious Time Travelling Antics and was going WUT by the end!
The one book of hers that I did really enjoy (and which is why I picked up this one, expecting more of the same) is The Nothing Girl, which features a magical golden talking horse that only the heroine can see (in a magical realism kind of way rather than a “and now we will reveal the secret history of magic” fantasy kind of way), a delightful gentle hero, and a lot of English class-based comedy of manners.
