Do you know that phenomenon when you read something and it's really good but confusing?
That's this kind of story. It's at times rather fast-paced, the reader is more of an observer than actually "involved". Still, it is intriguing.
And the first time I read about sociopathic Sherlock having a hard childhood because of psychopathic Mycroft.
