review 1: This is a detective story set in a steampunk inspired Victorian era London. The protagonists Bartleby and James appear to be partly modelled on Sherlock Holmes and Watson. Certainly the length is typical of many of Holmes's adventures. The twist is that James is an "engineer" who spends most of his time dabbling in chemistry and clockwork. Without spoiling things, the "Spider" is an extraordinary adversary - possibly typical of the steampunk genre. I found this to be good escapism. If you like Holmes or "The Wild Wild West", then you'll like this.
review 2: James and Bartleby are wonderful characters! I love this style and time period … very Holmes and Watson, which I adore! The story was great, it had mystery and some darkness to it, but a bit of humor in th... moree way these two men interact with each other and the changing world around them made the whole thing very entertaining! It is a very short story, I would love to know more about them and their lives and what will happen next! I can’t wait to read more!! less
