A Study in Honor, Claire O'Dell

I just read this and liked it quite a bit -- it was slow in parts, but I thought the author handled "queer black Holmes and Watson" well and the worldbuilding was fascinating.

Any other nonnies here read it? What did you think?

I know Watson is gay in this, but does Sherlock like girls?

DA

In the original version of this post, OP said Sherlock was ace, but that doesn't preclude the possibility that she's written as being romantically into women. (I actually originally assumed that was the case because of how OP said they were both queer. I'd be curious to know the answer either way.)

this is a femslash meme, why is it so outrageous to ask whether a character likes girls or not

Sorry the walk overtook your perfectly good post, OP. If it helps any I definitely put the book on my list.
