- I enjoyed this book so much that I read it in about three hours. The writing is impeccable.
- Developed an instant, tiny crush on the plague doctor; right now to their description and mannerisms. How do I find my own genderless plague doctor? Asking for a friend.
Was also devastated when said plague doctor first perished! I actually shouted "No!" HELP. - Everything was so raw and the medical terminology used had me NERDING OUT.

And I really like the two main characters and their relationship with each other, too. This is a story about two people dealing with their trauma together, healing together in a way, and supporting each other throughout it. They are not perfect or try to be, but they feel realistic and are loyal to each other. I especially loved the line, where the plague doctor calls out the "your trauma makes you stronger" bullshit.
