I found this completely riveting. I read someone critiquing it because they said the very idea of “Sherlock Holmes in a fantasy world“ doesn't work, and I think that's to miss the point of what this is: it's a homage to the idea of Sherlock Holmes, but it is very much not a retelling, it's imagining how this fascinating, wild, awful fantasy world might grow that kind of intellect, and what it might be used for. The worldbuilding is amazing.

shanaqui Which is not to say it's perfect, but that it's rich enough that I felt it supported the story and the characters, and the idea of a Holmesian intellect and method being set loose.

It was also my April #BookSpin, so I'm glad I fit it in. I've made my list for May and I might start on those books now, or rather, the lighter fare I seeded among the list, because my brain's definitely not ready to go on to something else brilliant yet.

I can't believe it's gonna be May (😏) in just a couple of days. Here is my loose #bookspin list. I switched out my extra free spaces for the shortlisted Hugo Award nominees. I've already read a few of the novels and novellas. Fingers crossed the library had copies of everything.

This was an incredible look into the Italian resistance and the women involved!

Going into this book, I didn‘t know a whole lot about what went on in Italy during WWII. That being said, I learned so much from this book, not just about these 4 courageous women, but also about the war in general.
