Sawbones by Catherine Johnson

3.0

Sawbones has an interesting and original setting: the gruesome world of surgeons in 1790s London. It has an enjoyable amount of grinchy detail about surgical procedures of the time and by the end I did care what happened to Ezra, the former slave turned surgeon's apprentice. However, the other characters don't come off the page (Loveday, the only significant female character, never feels like a real person) and the plot relies on everyone behaving thoroughly illogically.
