3.5 stars. This was a weird, wacky and very fun Sherlock Holmes retelling with a trans Watson and pansexual female Holmes! It’s full of amusing one-liners and I think it works very well as a retelling, capturing the voice of Watson excellently. Ultimately, I think I have realised I just don’t necessarily *enjoy* that voice and thus this close a retelling to format/voice hindered my enjoyment a touch as I got a little bored of the very prim and proper Watson quite quickly. But a wonderfully weird science fantasy take on Holmes full of vampires and underwater cities and blackmail.
