A fun addition to the official Sherlock canon. It keeps the format that I eventually found intensely repetitive, but actually manages to tweak it in ways I appreciated, as well as semi retcon some of the outdated aspects. Things like fat phobia descriptions and just things with the benefit of hindsight don’t look so good.

The dynamic is preserved, the plot is a good time, it’s well paced. It’s probably not going to blow your mind but it is comfortable and comforting, especially if you’ve read other Sherlock stories.

* be aware of a large content warning for that of multiple kinds of harm to children. It is somewhat veiled and not gone into into that much detail, but neither is it glossed over in the least.
