In my opinion, the concept of mortal enemies includes much more 'issues' than the ones portrayed in this story. But despite all those hard choices there was no space for hatred or for blood feud. Also, because the heroine Mori had crossed the line that cannot be crossed and there was not coming back from that, unless Lock decided to cross that line too, which would never had happened according to the original story as we know it. It felt like two lovers were divided because of their differences about the world and what is considered good or bad.
After finishing Final Fall I cannot for the love of all chocolate understand what was the reason of characters becoming mortal enemies? Just the enemies standing on different sides of the law - yes, but where's this 'mortal' word in there I can not see. The problem with Lock and Mori is that with every new book it was getting less realistic and more dramatic, which would not be a bad thing if drama was not too much of a teenage kind. For me it was a question either book 2 will beat its predecessor and become my next favorite series.
After I finished the first book I was a little bit on a crossroad about this series: from one side, it was a promising new trilogy dark and realistic, and I saw a lot of potential in it. The more alluring this story seemed as Holmes and Moriarty are not just enemies - they are lovers Moriarty is a girl and I found it quite an intriguing idea, making everything more dramatic and preparing my poor heart for a heartbreak in advance. The story of two mortal enemies and how they became to be the enemies is what caught my attention a few years ago when I first noticed Lock and Mori. Read at your own peril - nothing is more electrifying than the hunt for truth.For me it was always hard to resist a Sherlock Holmes retelling, especially when it is about Holmes and Moriarty.
