Cool concept and I love the idea of the story (and the art!) but it doesn’t really flesh out characters because it hops around so much.

I received an eARC of this title through NetGalley in return for an honest review.
I thought this was a good adaptation of the Enola Holmes books. This is a collection of the first 3 installments to the series, and I feel like it hit all the high points of the book really well. It was also nice that the adaptation kept some of the elements of talking about how Enola did not understand why men treated women so differently when they could both succeed in similar ways.
The artwork in this adaptation is something I quite enjoyed. It was a watercolor-esque style which I thought was appropriate for the story and the age group who would be reading it.
If you enjoyed the books, I think you will enjoy this graphic novel adaptation. If you haven't read the books but want to enjoy the story, this is also something you will enjoy.

This story is translated really well to a graphic novel form. Fun mysteries of the lost and after mystery notes.

Tämä oli niin paljon parempi kuin se Enola Holmes -elokuva. Kuvitus on toteutettu ihanasti vesivärein. Enola on kiinnostavampi hahmo kuin veljensä Sherlock.

2.5 ⭐ tykkäsin tosi paljon kuvitustyylistä, mutta tällaiset salapoliisijutut ei kyllä ollu yhtään mun juttu.

Simply brilliant! I terribly regret not picking up this series earlier. The illustrations are gorgeous, masterfully capturing the emotions and intensity of the situations. Enola's deduction skills are on par with Sherlocks. Her disguises were so clever and kept me amused. I enjoyed all three of the mysteries but while the first two were kinda predictable, the last one caught me off guard. I couldn't guess the ending at all! I love the layout and can't wait to read the next ones. I will also get to the Netflix series as soon as possible.
