Happy pub week to this beautiful book! This sequel takes all the best parts of the first book and expands on them. This is the very best of alternate history and low-fantasy/sci-fi, as the supernatural elements and reimagined storyline merges seamlessly with the real life places and characters. 

Immortality picks up right where Anatomy, its predecessor, left off. It finds Hazel quite lonely, a bit sad, but also working as a surgeon. This book takes her to the British court and working as the personal physician to Princess Charlotte. Along the way she becomes intwined with a secret society of some of the most well known minds of the time. 

If I liked Anatomy, I loved this. It is perfectly paced and I found the supporting characters to be engaging and well developed. Plus, I'm a sucker for a sinister secret society, I was totally satisfied with how the story wrapped, but would gladly read more of Hazel's story if the series were to continue, 

On a final note, Mhairi Morrison's narration is masterful. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the delightful opportunity to read this book!
