Badass female surgeon Hazel Sinnett is back!  In this follow-up to Dana Schwartz’s bestselling Anatomy, Hazel is forced to trade her practical trousers for custom-made dresses when she is summoned to London to treat an ailing princess.  As she’s faced with a new medical mystery, Hazel labors over her thesis and finds herself in both a love triangle and a secret society.  This duology’s conclusion ponders prisons of circumstance, irreversible actions, and the meaning of love.  If you’re dying to know the rest of Hazel and Jack’s story, this utterly readable sequel is just what the doctor ordered.

A huge thank you to NetGalley, Wednesday Books, and Dana Schwartz for the opportunity to sink my teeth into this lovely e-ARC.

I flew through Anatomy: A Love Story in one sitting and it's no surprise that I opened up Immortality: A Love Story in the morning and was finished by late afternoon. If you enjoyed the first book in this duology, you will love the final installment.

Summary: Unsure if her beloved Jack is dead or alive, Hazel Sinnett spends her time alone or treating patients. Being a female surgeon is a dangerous business, a fact that becomes apparent to Hazel when providing treatment to a patient on death's doorstep, results in her arrest. Certain that her fate is sealed, her reprieve comes in the form of a request to serve as the personal physician to the ailing Princess Charlotte. But once at court, she quickly discovers that things are not always what they seem, and her work as a surgeon may give her the opportunity to set right the malicious workings that threaten the monarchy and the real people behind it who endure its gilded cage. 

I absolutely loved reconnecting with Hazel Sinnett. Dana Schwartz's ability to pepper in historical details (some factual and some slightly modified for story-telling purposes) without making one feel as though they're skimming a textbook is so refreshing. My only major complaint about the second installment of this series is that it ended and felt a teensy bit rushed. I would've gleefully read another installment in this series just to more thoroughly explore Hazel's time amongst the English court, the romance, as well as the very intriguing and mysterious "Companions to the Death".

Regardless of my few, and truly minor grievances, Hazel Sinnett is still a badass who never stops for a minute to let her gender lessen her surety that she is meant to be a doctor. She is bold and interesting and it was really easy to root for her from book one onward, and this was a very satisfying end to her story.
