For such a short book I was amazed by the world building but wanted more character development to really get the Sherlock vibe.

Una simpatica historia con un mundo muy chulo, unos personajes con una interesante relacion y un caso por resolver que no me dijo mucho,

Loved the concept and idea of the stories and characters but the prose and wording used a lot of the time pissed me off and made it annoying to read. I wanted to love this book but it isn't for me
