The ending was a bit anti-climactic. I thought Hazel would have a more dramatic exit from the Companions of the Death. None of the other members came after her, except Anne-Marie. Plus Anne-Marie’s meddling in the king’s illness did not surprise me. Also, I thought we’d get more crimes from their group. Like embezzlement of royal funds or poisonings. I did like the bit about Anne-Marie ending up a floating head after Jack hacked her apart. I appreciated that the queen and her lady’s maid were in love and Hazel’s respect for them. Her willingness to help and conspire to make their dreams come true made me happy. I also liked that finale when Beecham appeared as his own solicitor.


Moreover, I liked Hazel’s personal development, her growing confidence as a physician, her love and loyalty to Jack even when the temptation of another man came around, and her determination to help others.
