I read this for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and was pleased with it for all the reasons you mentioned. I love how it ties in with the other books, too. I could see how each of Christopher's adventures pushed him into becoming the adult Chrestomanci I knew in the first three published books.
I think he's meant to be eleven or twelve here. He's fifteenish in CONRAD'S FATE, and he tells Conrad he's lived at Chrestomanci Castle for three years.
