“There are always women behind the scenes, pulling the strings, Hazel. We are invisible to history, but we also survive.”
➽ Immortality is the final book in the Anatomy duology and follows Hazel to London! I still think that Anatomy didn't need a sequel, but surprisingly I still had a good time reading Immortality, even though I normally don't like it when the main couple is separated for most of the book. The story mainly focuses on Hazel's medical practice and how she's saved from prison (after performing an abortion) in order to treat Princess Charlotte, who has a mysterious illness. Hazel finds herself at the Royal Court in London, trying to find out how to help the Princess and soon contacting a secret society that is interested in Beecham's immortality elixir. I really liked her growing friendship with Charlotte and how she ended up helping her in the end! However, I could have done without her flirting with another young doctor. It seemed like an awkward way to set up a love triangle, when it was clear that Hazel was still hung up on Jack!
