The Gods of Gotham by Lyndsay Faye

2.0

This was... not very good. In my opinion. I really loved another book I read by this author (dust and shadow) but this one was a complete miss. I didn't like any of the characters. It felt very derived from sherlock holmes but without the atmosphere or charm. The Way it's written feels too modern for the era and the characters either stereotypical or too liberal for the period. I was going to give it 3 stars until I was 3/4ths of the way through. Then I just didn't care anymore. I was just bored. I even guessed a major part of the mystery 100 pages in and wasn't surprised by the rest. Overall I would not recommend this book to anyone really.
