Thank you NetGalley for the free ARC in return for an honest review.

What was great about the first book was it was about a woman who poses as a man to take medical classes, and she gains success despite being caught. There was some romance, gravedigging, a vial of immortality potion and an immortal surgeon nemesis to Hazel with limbs falling off. It was an intriguing story with a strong female character.

Book two started off with promise, but after Hazel makes it to London, meets a clandestine groups of immortals, and a supportive doctor to mad King George, the stakes are quite a bit lower and the suspense is replaced with a realization the story with end happily ever after for everyone. Perhaps duo logo would have been better off as one book that ended quite a bit earlier.
