I absolutely loved this gender-flipped queer sci-fi fantasy version of Sherlock Holmes. I listened to this on audiobook and the narrator was perfect. I loved how many insane scenarios the characters ended up in, and I loved how pure hearted Wyndham (Watson) was. I do wish Shaharazad Haas (Sherlock) showed a bit more compassion, but I understand what the portrayal was going for. Overall, I had a great time the entire time and I wish this had become a series.
