I read this series as I grew up and I had never realized how quick the stories are! I love the interpretation of Sherlock, where he is insulting, patronizing, and also kind. Enola is so inspiring to me, and I love getting to hear her explore the world and how she wants to make change. 
This book is the one that I remember the most, so I'm excited to listen to the others which I remember less clearly. 
I loved the ending,

I forgot that she actually got to hear from her mother, which was heartwarming.

I'm excited to read the next novel! 

This book was a nice quick easy read and I enjoyed it! Younger me would have eaten this series up. Simple but entertaining!

I really wanted to like this, but I just couldn't get into it. I think the premise is interesting, and Enola is a pretty cute and scrappy character. But I just couldn't seem to stay interested. Probably won't try to continue the series.

 To be frank this book was just not very good. I had heard about the film adaptations but haven't seen either and the premise sounded fun so I went for it. It certainly was not particularly fun at all though. This book attempts to take the angle of being a feminist take on Sherlock Holmes but really this just means a lot of comments about undergarments and some child abandonment on the side. Like I get that a preteen girl that hasn't reached puberty yet is going to find corsetry uncomfortable but it was mentioned constantly. It was a cool idea how they were used as a storage space/tool to escape kidnapping but this is also pretty far-fetched given that corsets are supposed to fit you closely otherwise they are useless!

I didn't particularly like any of the characters and the plot was a bit all over the place. This book is probably better if you are in the age range it is target towards but I just found it irritating.
