I was going to give this a bit of a lower rating but oh my god that ending was *chefs kiss* and I'm willing to overlook all other faults
I will say though, what did a corset ever do to Nancy Springer, she writes about them as if one killed her entire family
Also, god what I would give to also see

Holmes return home the first time, not only his ruse a failure, but the cypher book stolen while he was out. Absolutely amazingrhiannonxgrace's review against another edition

Ok, let's talk about this book.
When I started it, I really enjoyed it, it felt very fresh and easy to read, I think because I had just read a more complicated fantasy. But then, as the middle of the books approached, I became a bit bored with it. I think that I just didn't click with the case. Maybe I would've enjoyed this book more if I was a bit younger, but again, I think an important part of it was that I didn't like the case itself. I also feel like I prefered the parts were Sherlock was around, even though here they make him very sentimental (which he isn't). Anyway, Not bad but not very good either. I liked more the other two books from the series I had read previously

All of those things about double personalities and hypnosis just didn't really make sense to me.kongart's review against another edition

the misrepresentation of corsets is wild. otherwise, this series is turning out to be highly entertaining.
