Also, let's be real, when you're writing historical fantasy? All you're using from a typical time period is the aesthetics.

Not so much. Yeah, it has dragons fighting Napoleon, but it also has:
- Napoleon
- Laurence being a silly sexist man who is horrified and aghast by women wearing breeches and being "subjected" to the deprivations of the airforce
- Laurence being a slightly racist guy (despite his many good qualities)
- Keynes being convinced that bloodletting is an awesome way of treating illness
- Riley being 100% fine with black slaves
- Laurence thinking that hanging is a perfectly reasonable punishment for treason
- Laurence desperately wishing he could duel someone for calling him a "clodpole"

...the historical attitudes, much as I disagree with them, are part of what I enjoy in the books. Take them away, and you might just as well dress up a modern guy in regency clothing - which wouldn't be nearly as interesting.
