Book received for free from NetGalley

Im so glad I came across this book as I absolutely loved the first one in the series… and this one didn’t disappoint. So good. Love the characters, story, and everything! Would love any continuation in the future 💕

Oh boy! I was waiting this second book of the series for so long, asking myself what the hell happened to Jack and I wished he found his way of surviving! That cliffhanger gave me heartache!

I want to start my review by chanting for this beautiful cover! ( the same concept with the first book and this is even more amazing) Just like its magical cover, the second book grips you tight, hooking you up with action packed, riveting storyline.

Hazel Sinnett: living at family’s mansion Hawthorden with her cook who is expecting and cook’s husband, abandoned by her family, becoming a disgrace after acting like a man to become an anatomist at academy and studying medicine. She suffers from grief, missing her love of her life Jack who has been unfairly charged to death sentence and hanged after she gave him the tincture which may have helped him to become immortal. But he still didn’t reach out to her. Is he dead or alive? Dr. Beecham who put the blame on Jack fled the country, might be still alive and hide in somewhere.

After being wrongly accused of murder and betrayed by one of her patients, Hazel finds herself in prison cell to wait for her death sentence.

But surprisingly when she expects to get hanged, she’s put into carriage heading to England where she will be practitioner to heal Princess Charlotte who has been suffering from Roman fever.

Hazel thinks after being recovered from Roman fever, it’s impossible to suffer from same ailment so Princess Charlotte might suffer from some disease undiagnosed. If she doesn’t treat her properly and find the real reason what’s happening to her, she will be sent back to jail and she will also put her family’s life into danger.

Even though she still misses Jack’s absence, she meets with kind hearted, flirting Swedish doctor Simon who shows her opinions big respect and needs her help to treat the king who suffers from madness. And she also becomes a unique part of a very special community named themselves Companions of Death with so famous members including Lord Byron, Voltaire, conducted by Marie-Anne Lavoisier: a very famous chemist. ( their meetings reminded me of the famous scene of Woody Allen movie: Midnight in Paris where the entire famous artist gathered in a bar, drinking and chatting together.)

As Hazel starts spending more time as a member of special group, she realizes nothing as it seems. A love triangle, life threats turn her life more complex than ever. She realizes she has to make important choices for her own life and her loved ones.

Overall: I hardly put this book down. This was even better than the first book. The characters, the story’s pacing and progression, thought provoking approach to feminism were perfectly developed! Giving my 5 immortality stars!
