Hmm, yes! I actually haven't read very much early Sayers, but I do know the tendency you mean. I think DWJ has a trump card in that later she writes through the eyes of children, who obviously think Chrestomanci can do anything. What was fun for me this time was writing this through Cat's eyes without Chrestomanci being perfect - and I'm glad that the final piece doesn't show the seams, thank you!
Really must offer this for yuletide, now I come to think of it.
