Week 22 Review: Immortality

From Goodreads:

Immortality: A Love Story is the eagerly-anticipated sequel to Dana Schwartz's #1 bestselling gothic romance, Anatomy: A Love Story.

Hazel Sinnett is alone and half-convinced the events of the year before—the immortality, Beecham's vial—were a figment of her imagination. She doesn't even know if Jack is alive or dead. All she can really do now is treat patients and maintain Hawthornden Castle as it starts to decay around her.

When saving a life leads to her arrest, Hazel seems doomed to rot in prison until a message intervenes: Hazel has been specifically requested to be the personal physician of Princess Charlotte, the sickly granddaughter of King George III. Soon Hazel is dragged into the glamor and romance of a court where everyone has something to hide, especially the enigmatic, brilliant members of a social club known as the Companions to the Death.

As Hazel's work entangles her more and more with the British court, she realizes that her own future as a surgeon isn't the only thing at stake for her. Malicious forces are at work in the monarchy, and Hazel may be the only one capable of setting things right.

My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book! I really enjoyed the first, and I was really looking forward to this one and seeing where the story went. And oh, it went places, and I just had to follow along and see what was going to happen next! 

I just have to say, this cover is gorgeous. That the dress looks like a brain, and she's working to become a surgeon, it was just so clever and well done! The way that the dress folds, and the front and the back having those gaps to mimic the lobes, I love it! 

Getting entangled with the British court was an unfortunate consequence of her path. I really enjoyed her dealing with all the politics when all she really wants is to help heal people. But it does introduce us to a bunch of new characters that I loved! 

The question on whether or not Jack survived or not, which was complicated by the introduction of Simon. But I really enjoyed how it all played out, and where we left these characters! I do wish there was a 3rd book to spend more time with these characters, but I'm happy with where they've been left.

This was a really great read and I can't wait to read more by Dana Schwartz!
