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.

So many questions left unanswered. Needs an addition of 100 pages. Broke my heart and confused me, but I love when men cry. Ending too rushed.

Why does nobody try to put Beecham on trial for murdering. a. whole. lot. of. people. Jack should at least have gotten his revenge

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.
