I don't think of that series as a Sherlock Holmes series, though. Technically, he's in it, but plays a minor role and hardly seems like the same character in the ACD books. Mostly what annoys me is that the heroine feels like a really embarrassing author self insert written by someone who wanted to BE Sherlock Holmes, only better, and also to bang him on the side.

Agreed so hard. Screaming Mary Sue. She even has some of the personal characteristics and interests of the author, and is extremely anachronistic.

The Watson-denigration made me SO cross I couldn't finish the first book.

I wouldn't go as far as the OP in saying you are "not a fan" if you like them, but I would question your taste in reading matter.

Yeah, what seemed like a weirdly personal attack on Watson was both annoying and weird. It's like she felt the need to bash the most popular pairing in the fandom in order to establish her Mary Sue as the love interest. I'd expect that in crappy fanfiction, but in a published work? SO much cringe.

Rich, colour-changing eyes, smarter than Holmes, is beloved of everyone except villains, hair and glasses match the author's, classic self-insert Mary Sue.

And that's before the "Watson was not a real partner" ridiculousness.

I wonder why she didn't just have Watson dead offscreen before the series begins? Why would a Holmes fan disrespect Watson?

Although frankly, I've never had the urge to read this series and now I'm almost tempted for laughs.
