The Tea Master and the Detective by Aliette de Bodard

3.0

I loved the world, the setting and the characters. I wish it were longer as there was not much time for world building due to which a lot of things left unexplained. I liked the characters too. I expected the characters to resemble those from Sherlock Holmes but not to this much extent. Long Chau is exactly like Sherlock in terms of everything and Dr Watson is a mind ship who has suffered trauma in the past where her entire crew got killed. The case that they solve looked pretty trivial but I hope we get to see more of these characters. I wasn’t that impressed with the writing style though.
