Yes and yes. I still go into little piles of flaily squee when I think about this book and how much I enjoyed it. I adored this book and I don't know if you're aware but there's a short story about the Marquess on Tor.com (http://www.tor.com/stories/2011/07/the-girl-who-ruled-fairylandfor-a-little-while) that is just perfect and heart breaking.
