It was good to see how everything wrapped up, and to see the characters grow in this story. I do want to go back now and read the original stories that the characters are from, but I do appreciate that it's not necessary to have read any of the source material first. More than the others, this one felt like an ensemble story, and it was great to see the perspectives of so many of the club members. (It seemed like there were also fewer interjections in this one than the second, though that could just have been because the second book was longer than either of the other two.) While not quite all aspects of the trilogy were wrapped up, all of the relevant remaining plot items were nicely tied up—including a few that I hadn't remembered were still loose ends. It was a great way to close up the series, while still leaving opportunities for short stories or novellas set in this universe in future. For some reason, all the things I found charming and delightful about the first two books -- the asides as the book is written, the multiplicity of characters, made this one a very hard book to get into. I even tried audio version (it was worse). I felt that the sheer number of the asides made it almost impossible for the plot to even get started, and the points of view of characters scattered across Europe dragged it down as well. When I finally got into it, I enjoyed it, but I think I'm done with the Athena club, unless they start to have shorter and more fast paced adventures. Advanced reader's copy provided by Edelweiss ** so editing may have taken place! I received a free ebook copy of The Sinister Mystery of the Mesmerizing Girl from NetGalley in exchange for feedback and an honest review. The Sinister Mystery of the Mesmerizing Girl is another solid installment in The Extraordinary Adventures of the Athena Club. This series never fails to make me smile. The cast of characters, while seemingly pulled from other works of fiction, is done so very well. The characters play off each other to become a delightful family -- the Athena Club. In this volume, in particular, it was fun to see the group take on the task of rescuing Sherlock Holmes. Goss convincingly turns the tables on the established conventions in these novels and I really enjoy it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

That being said, it still kept me interested and I enjoyed the plot and storylines. ( )
