Things are happening! I will say that this volume was really sad and definitely has trigger warnings for child death and a pretty gruesome murder scene (we don’t see the actual murder but the before and after.)
The ending was hilarious with John bringing Mary home with him and announcing he is engaged after Hudson and Sherlock said he would never get married.
I had big emotions when Sherlock called William by his full name. I feel like big things are about to happen and I can’t wait for the showdown between the two of them.

And so the Lord of Crime is out of the shadows and the Moriarty plan advances!!!
The main focus of this volume is really the politician Whitley as he is being forced into a horrible situation by Milverton that ruins his entire life. It's so funny how evil Milverton is like omg go off. He's so menacing goddamn. (And also hot!!!) It's funny to me because his character is how I imagined Moriarty would be but nah lol Moriarty fights for the weak, this guy is evil just for evil sake. His main form of fun being turning heroes into murderers like damn I guess everyone needs a hobby??
It's so wild to see William test Whitley as Milverton pulls the strings from the shadows and ruins their plan. It doesn't seem like it's very often when William wasn't already a step ahead but he still takes the situation and turns it around in his favor and that's why I love my little genius supervillain. That cloak he was wearing when he was being super dramatic, oh man I'm down bad crying at the gym.
The last chapter involves Sherlock and Mycroft and I gotta say, I love their dynamic so much.

Okay that was just about what I expected to happen to Whiteley. Also Milverton has definitely become a roadblock for Moriarty but I wish he wasn't so cartoonish.
