I'm pretty much usually down with a Victorian era novel and I love Sherlock Holmes and this had his niece in it, so I read it and bob's your uncle. If you're looking for a bit of steampunk AU where there's a bit of exploration of women's roles in that era, a bit of romance, even (why not) some time traveling, and a bit of girls kicking buttishness, then this is a fun and innocuous though not very deep novel.There were some pretty strong feminist themes that I liked. Mina and Eveline were capable characters, strong and interesting. But their "depth" of character seemed maybe contrived and a bit forced; instead of being organic and flowing naturally, it seemed like someone said, what would be an unexpected weakness in these characters? Ah! It's that they're not as smart and strong as they thought they were. Except there was never any good reason for Mina to suspect the villain was who she thought it was, and she even said that a few times. And Eveline is just squeamish? I guess? She couldn't get over that?And throughout the novel they were in competition instead of cooperation with each other. I'm sure they will get along better in later books when they're relationship develops, but for a novel with feminist themes it seems like women were pitted against each other a bit much. And there was a lot of romance in the book as well, which I'm not entirely sure was to its benefit. But it made for some nice entertainment!I also am not a huge fan of alternating POV, just a personal preference, so that didn't work as much for me.
This is a fairly entertaining steampunk YA, set in a parallel 1889 London where a wealthy aristocrat who owns extensive steam-engine factories suc-ceeded in getting electricity outlawed in the British Empire when it was just getting started, so technology developed rather differently in the latter part of the 19th century from how it did in our timeline. The two POV characters are Mina Holmes—daughter of Mycroft, niece of Sherlock— and Evaline Stoker, younger sister of Bram. Both are 17. Mina has been a pupil of her uncle Sherlock and exhibits his highly developed powers of observation and deduction, but has not worked to any great extent on her skills at physical combat the way Sherlock had. Her social skills aren’t the greatest, either, since her mother abandoned her when she was young and her father is much to busy with his government work to pay much attention to her. Evaline, on the other hand, is the latest embodiment of a long line of “Venatorsâ€â€”vampire hunters who have super-strength and quickness to let them match the abilities of the Undead. She’s also lovely and popular with young men, though she isn’t really interested in most of them because compared to her they’re wimps. At the beginning of the book both of the girls have been summoned (separately) to the British Museum after hours, where they learn that Irene Adler has undertaken a commission for Crown Princess Alexandra to solve the mystery of several aristocratic young women who have either disappeared or been found murdered. And after she explained this to them and asked for their help, they go out into the body of the museum and find a young man, strangely dressed, standing over the body of yet another young woman, whom Evaline recognizes. Mina quickly notices that the young man’s shoes are dry, although it’s a beastly night out and her own boots are quite muddy. He must have been inside the museum since before the rain started, and couldn’t have brought the girl there. And the story goes on, with Mina attracted both to the stranger and the Inspector from Scotland Yard who comes to investigate the murder, and Evaline to a Cockney called Pix who keeps turning up in the course of their investigation. I got a bit tired of the two girls’ getting all hot and bothered over those men, but otherwise the story was enter-taining and I like both the characters when they aren’t being lovesick along with several other characters who interact with them. There are two more books in the series available now, and a fourth that should be released soon. I’ve bought the Kindle editions of the two that are available, and will probably get the fourth when it’s out.
I loved the colorful and exciting world Colleen Gleason created, and the relationship between the two female leads is just how an unlikely friendship would start in my mind.The pace is steady and the story is told through the points of view of Evaline Stoker (the sister of Bram) and Alvermina Holmes (niece of Sherlock), which gives marvelous insight into their individual personalities and interests. They find themselves in a situation where they are forced to work together, much as they would prefer not to. Although they don't see eye to eye in the beginning, they learn to overcome the issues they have with one another in order to unravel a frightening mystery, one that is killing London's finest young women.There are steampunk references, but no so many that someone who doesn't read the genre should be dissuaded from reading the book. Appropriate for all advanced readers who like mystery, suspense and a hint of romance. I am very much looking forward to checking out the next book in the series!
I love well done steampunk stories, and in this book I was happy with the pictures evoked. Add in girl power with Holmes and Stoker, and I expected great. Unfortunately, there was a bit too much child in the girl and not enough power. I don’t mind mistakes happening as they’re learning and overcoming obstacles, but the girly giggly stuff was just too juvenile. The love interests were a hindrance and not an asset, making the girls appear weak. I had hoped this would be an empowering the girls story instead of a being saved by the boy story. Sad.But what I really didn’t care for was to be left hanging at the end. Holmes had adversaries in Adler and Moriarty, but you knew who they were. You also knew that they’d be showing up again, but even so, each of the Holmes books had a finished feel. Not so with this story. Not only do you not find out (for sure) who the adversary is, the ending just seems to be lying there rather than having a finished feel.I have yet to decide if I’m going to try the second book. On the one hand the second story is not outrageously priced, but on the other hand I don’t want further disappointment. Still, I really liked the world created by the author, and if she can fix the problems this could be a really good series.
