the teenage wangst and love drama really took away from the whole mystery aspect this time. why oh why do Holmes and Watson have to have a romantic entanglement, along with a Moriarty tossed in? I was really disappointed. it's still better than Lock and Mori, but yea, I'm kinda sick of the romance aspect of most Sherlock YA adaptations/modernisations. I'll still read the 3rd, but with a lot of caution. 
 Flavia De Luce and Wells & Wong feel more like Sherlock Holmes than this or Lock and Mori.
