I'm really glad you liked the book, I think it's one of Neil Gaiman's best. Unfortunately, from reading some of his other work, he appears to be the kind of author that has only one story. His short fiction, from what I understand, is more varied, however.
I'm not surprised. The way he skips over the flight in the dirigible and the way he pulls together the plot threads all of-a-sudden reminds me of a comic book. (Imagine that.) But I do like his language, the way it flows so easily. Reading Stardust felt like listening to a campfire story. And I like his imagination.
For anyone who's interested, there's a respectful review over at inchoatus.com:
