I ended up giving both Anatomy and Immortality 4 stars, but whereas Anatomy was a high 4 stars for me, Immortality is more of a low 4 stars. Even though in the end I did still enjoy and have fun with Immortality, overall, I just felt that it was a little underwhelming. My main problem with the book is the pacing. I felt like the first half of this book dragged on for way too long, and it meant that we didn’t get to spend enough time on the most interesting plot points (exploring The Companions to the Death, Jack and Hazel finding each other again, etc.). In fact, none of these things occurred until more than half way through the book. I think that if the first half of the book was cut down, and we got to spend more time focusing and expanding on the Companions, and Jack and Hazel rebuilding their relationship, then this book could’ve been a fantastic conclusion to this duology. Instead, we spent the first half of the book with Hazel as she tries to treat Charlotte’s “illness” and watching Hazel flirt with some guy we already know she’s not gonna end up with. Like I said, I did enjoy this book for what it was, I’m glad that we got to be with Hazel and Jack again, and I liked where these characters ended up, but honestly after reading this I think I would’ve been okay with Anatomy just being a stand alone novel that had a more open ending, and the second half of this book just being turned into a novella that served to wrap up the story and answer any lingering questions.

“There are always women behind the scenes, pulling the strings, Hazel. We are invisible to history, but we also survive.”
➽ Immortality is the final book in the Anatomy duology and follows Hazel to London! I still think that Anatomy didn't need a sequel, but surprisingly I still had a good time reading Immortality, even though I normally don't like it when the main couple is separated for most of the book. The story mainly focuses on Hazel's medical practice and how she's saved from prison (after performing an abortion) in order to treat Princess Charlotte, who has a mysterious illness. Hazel finds herself at the Royal Court in London, trying to find out how to help the Princess and soon contacting a secret society that is interested in Beecham's immortality elixir. I really liked her growing friendship with Charlotte and how she ended up helping her in the end! However, I could have done without her flirting with another young doctor. It seemed like an awkward way to set up a love triangle, when it was clear that Hazel was still hung up on Jack!
