My issue is more with how the actual story is told and its execution. ![]() I'm not really sure how to explain it, or if my attempt at explaining it even makes sense. ![]() I don't know if it's a Holmes thing or just the story itself, because I do like Brittany Cavallaro's writing it has a slight contemporary feel (more specifically, that contemporary voice that hits the spot) mixed with bits of quirkiness. ![]() What I struggled with in A Study in Charlotte I still struggled with here: the Sherlock Holmes vibe, the lack of realism and constant jumping around that left me feeling lost and confused and unable to fully follow the story and comprehend what's going on. That said-I did want to see what would happen next. The problem of sorts is that my feelings about A Study in Charlotte changed from beginning to end, and while I certainly liked it, I didn't like it with an emphasis worthy of italics. I had downloaded the eARC while I was reading its predecessor A Study in Charlotte, thinking I'd want it on-hand and ready to go once I finished the first book. My feelings toward The Last of August varied pre-read. ![]()
