I’m totally a fan of this series, however there are a few things I I find a bit meh.

One of them is her description of plus size women. She does describe them as beautiful, but she also describes their boobs as huge and their ass is huge and that bothers me. You can describe plus size women without saying huge. You could say things like juicy ass or voluptuous bosom as examples.

Holy sh!t this book is stressful

Newbury smiled. "You rescued me. Again.”
“Thats what love is, isn't it? Rescuing one another, over and over again."
Newbury laughed. "Yes,” he said. "I suppose it is”

The plot of this book seemed interesting, however the writing is trying too hard. It also is filled with some kink shaming, and sexwork shaming.

I’d forgotten how misogynistic this book was.

“‘HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
‘Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little-‘
YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
‘So we can believe the big one?’
YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.”

I love this series, and I adore her take on Sherlock Holmes...but I’m honestly getting bored with it. I want to go back to other Elemental mages. What’s going on with Germany?
I’m 90% positive that I will love this book, but I’d like a break from Holmes related books in this series.

PS I love Sherlock Holmes stories
