2.0

utterly boring. all the characters are completely flat, especially the main character who is the least interesting person in the world.
did not like how over-sexualized Scout was, either (Hall CANNOT write women for his life omg).
the world-building was somewhat confusing, but not in a good, mysterious way.
the whole thing about Mycroft Ward was just… bad. why are we meant to care about him?? he literally NEVER ONCE actually appears. you think he might but just…nothing.
anyways the pictures were nice.
