4.0

The ending was a bit anti-climactic. I thought Hazel would have a more dramatic exit from the Companions of the Death. None of the other members came after her, except Anne-Marie. Plus Anne-Marie’s meddling in the king’s illness did not surprise me. Also, I thought we’d get more crimes from their group. Like embezzlement of royal funds or poisonings. I did like the bit about Anne-Marie ending up a floating head after Jack hacked her apart. I appreciated that the queen and her lady’s maid were in love and Hazel’s respect for them. Her willingness to help and conspire to make their dreams come true made me happy. I also liked that finale when Beecham appeared as his own solicitor.

Moreover, I liked Hazel’s personal development, her growing confidence as a physician, her love and loyalty to Jack even when the temptation of another man came around, and her determination to help others.

I don't think this sequel was required. 

She should have ended up with Simon, Jack was kind of a jerk in this sequel.

It's considered a YA book, but I would suggest more geared towards an older teen crowd.

Fun continuation of this alternative history world, but the writing isn’t as strong as the first. Some of the plot gets a bit hand wavey and repetitive as the author tries to wrap it up. Still an enjoyable read.
