  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot

  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

3.5

3.5* rounded up. i feel like i end up giving all short story collections about 3.5*, and the return of sherlock holmes is no different. they end up being such a mixed bag of really good to just alright stories that i can never really rate them higher. and it’s a shame when it comes to the sherlock holmes series, because i feel like the full-length stories are generally better. still, the return was generally enjoyable, and what i loved the most was seeing more of the source material/inspiration for the bbc series!
