![]() ![]() ![]() There was heart, wit, gore, and mystery that played out through the famous Holmes mysteries, with the overarching search for the Whitechapel serial killer… Jack the Ripper. Both the old and new are woven together delightfully. In the same breath, both the BBC series Holmes and the Robert Downey, Jr movies clearly played a role in the humor, dialogue, and relationship between Crow (Holmes) and Doyle (Watson). The time it took to research both Sherlock Holmes and Jack, the Ripper lore must have been staggering, and it paid off in spades. ![]() I did not want to leave these characters and this world that Katherine Addison had so well reimagined and put together. The closer it came to an end, the more I dragged it out. However, I believe I purposely took extra time with it, because I did not want it to end. I certainly could have finished it faster than I did. While Angel of the Crows is undoubtedly similar to the Declaration of the Rights of Magicians, in that it is not a book you should rush. So, I am not uncomfortable making this opinion known. I can’t imagine it is an insult for an author to hear that someone enjoyed her work so much that they want it to continue, though. Is it my place to tell Katherine Addison that Angel of the Crows should be a series. ![]()
