I was excited to start The Sin in the Steel when I discovered it was a Sherlock Holmes retelling.
I’ve had good luck with the majority of Bookishfirst titles I’ve won or bought with points on the site.
However, I ended up not finishing this one. I gave the novel 100 pages but decided it was not for me. I did not connect with the writing style, the plot, and struggled to understand the world it was set in. I also was not connecting with the characters.
It is disappointing because I really did enjoy the first 50ish pages and was getting into the story. I started to not enjoy the story and would rather pick up something I like than reading the rest of this one.
Thank you bookishfirst and publisher for the chance to check out this upcoming novel. I’m sorry that it was not for me.
