dee2799d 's review for:
A Study in Silks
by Emma Jane Holloway
Steampunk AU set in the time of Sherlock Holmes, featuring his own niece (I have no idea how that works in canon, but I like it well enough) trying to solve crimes. What can possibly go wrong?
I was expecting a lot of things to go wrong, actually. I've recently read [a:M.K. Hobson|1550534|M.K. Hobson|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1334447713p2/1550534.jpg]'s steampunk novels and while they were quite enjoyable, I had lots of problems with it (internalised misogyny what). A Study in Silks also feature a *drumroll* love triangle, which is really something I don't really get. But somehow, it actually works?Well, no one ends up with anyone in the end, since this is just book one. But I totally love where Nick's story is going. And I want to know what happens to Tobias next. I guess the point here is that Evelina might get distracted by her fancy boys, but she knows that she's getting distracted and (having had walked the tightrope before in her youth) knows how important balance is when you're doing your own thing.
I just really like the characters, okay.
