A review by mschlat
The Lady Doctor by Ian Williams

3.0

A sequel of sorts to [b:The Bad Doctor|22578304|The Bad Doctor|Ian Williams|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1403603259l/22578304._SX50_.jpg|42046372] and a good step forward for Williams's art style --- there's a simplification in the line art that clarifies characterization and works wells with the muted coloring. (Kinda reminds me of [a:Andi Watson|1022975|Andi Watson|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/m_50x66-82093808bca726cb3249a493fbd3bd0f.png].) And I liked that Williams was working with a longer plotline (the life of a coworker of the first book's protagonist, her work in the practice and a "clap" clinic, her unexpected reconnection with family). But the plotting still frustrated me at times, with coincidences too frequent and resolutions too pat.
