The audio book narrator was fantastic!  The story was engaging and kept me wanting to know what was going to happen.  The main character was an admiral and strong young woman, but not without her faults or mistakes.  The historical and medical context was dynamic, informative and relatable to things still going on today.  I can't wait to listen to the sequel!

4.5 stars only because I felt the book ended rather abruptly. Other than that the writing and characterization was phenomenal and absolutely worth the read.

I wanted to enjoy this but it read like my high school written romances. It was contradictory and we were told everything. “And there’s a spark and they’re in love!” The climax goes so wildly rapidly it’s a crazy plot moment. I also couldn’t handle that grave robbing was okay until it was the death of someone they knew and then they buried the body. So hypocritical. It was a bit painful to read tbh. The bad guys

just never faced any sort of consequence which I know can happen but honestly? And Bernard was a walking contradiction. “He’s nice. But also a massive control freak. Until he’s not.”

Also very very gory in medical ways.
