Was not impressed by this one at all, I just couldn't get into it and it felt like treading onto some old ground. The Vastra/Jenny relationship was also written like the author didn't know they were married. A shame as it's the only other 12/Paternoster story, but it's not great.

'How does that work?' 'You just add water, and...' Strax frowned. 'Hmm,' he said. 'Maybe it's not as useful as I thought.' — Silhouette Show All Quotes (5) Open in new window
