A Study in Scarlet
By BookmarkEpilogue
So I just finished the first Sherlock book yesterday and I’m honestly into it. I love Sherlock and how he goes about everything in this super methodical, kind of cold way. And I also bought into the whole RACHE angle—especially since it feels like “Lock” explained what was going on. Watson’s military background is cool too, I just kinda wish it got used more. I also thought it was funny how Watson is basically taking notes on Sherlock like it’s totally normal, even though it’s more like “yeah he’s a weird dude, but hey, meet him first” energy. The second half threw me off a bit at first since it feels like it shifts gears. It does explain itself, but I was hoping it’d click together more by the very end—like it was headed toward Jekyll and Hyde and then didn’t quite land the same way. Anyway I’m gonna start book 2 soon.
