There were a lot of things I found intriguing about this book and things I enjoyed - Connection of the main characters, the intersection of medicine and magic, the mystery.
But there were also a lot of things that I didn’t like at all and that annoyed me - Pacing, a disconnect between how much time was spent relaying information that was extremely relevant vs useless, and an issue with dumping the reader into an entirely new world with not enough information to understand this new one.
Torn on whether to continue the series or not, but I do think I’ve heard they get better.
For Miles and Tristan alone I may have to…

The flavor of post-war England, but a different World War. A witch from a powerful family works as a doctor, helping those injured in the war, while hiding his magical identity. He meets a cute guy while he's at it, but the book is much more focused on the impact of war, quest for individual control over one's life, influence of family...so, so good.
