I only gave this less than a 5 star because it got a little slow in the middle and I got frustrated with Hazel at some points. I did really love her though, I think she is an incredibly well-written protagonist and Jack is the sweetest. There were some ends that were left unresolved but I think it was meant to be that way. Overall, 100% worth the read and a fantastic follow up to Anatomy!

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.
