I love this collection so much. It truly feels like all the best bits of Sherlock and John and their adventures. There were so many amazing stories in this collection and I really enjoyed them.

 Here are my individual rating for each story:

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes 

Silver Blaze ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

-        A fun story will layers and Sherlock was definitely in his element. 

The Adventure of the Cardboard Box ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

-       This one was also really good. But the Croydon reference was a jumpscare. 

Yellow Face ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

-       This one was surprisingly wholesome and the Norbury reference was much appreciated. 

The Stockbroker's Clerk ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

-       This one was fine. 

The “Gloria Scott” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

-       Sherlock’s first case and the Victor Trevor appearance.  

The Musgrave Ritual ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

-       An early Sherlock case which was enjoyable. 

The Reigate Puzzle ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

-       Sherlock is such a drama queen, especially when ill. 

The Crooked Man ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

-       Cheeky love-triangle 

The Resident Patient ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

-       The conclusion was way too quick but I enjoyed the story. 

The Greek Interpreter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

-       MYCROFT     

The Naval Treaty ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

-       This one was so good and again Sherlock is so dramatic. 

The Final Problem ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

-       CRYING AND SCREAMING. John and Sherlock are actually soulmates and this one did make me tear up despite knowing what was going to happen.
