It's considered a YA book, but I would suggest more geared towards an older teen crowd.

4.0

This is the second and final book in The Anatomy Duology. It follows Hazel as she ends up in London after being accused of murder, where she is tasked with treating Princess Charlotte for an unknown illness. While in London, she is not only tapped to join a secret society called The Companions to the Death, but she is also reunited with an old friend.

I ended up giving both Anatomy and Immortality 4 stars, but whereas Anatomy was a high 4 stars for me, Immortality is more of a low 4 stars. Even though in the end I did still enjoy and have fun with Immortality, overall, I just felt that it was a little underwhelming. My main problem with the book is the pacing. I felt like the first half of this book dragged on for way too long, and it meant that we didn’t get to spend enough time on the most interesting plot points (exploring The Companions to the Death, Jack and Hazel finding each other again, etc.). In fact, none of these things occurred until more than half way through the book. I think that if the first half of the book was cut down, and we got to spend more time focusing and expanding on the Companions, and Jack and Hazel rebuilding their relationship, then this book could’ve been a fantastic conclusion to this duology. Instead, we spent the first half of the book with Hazel as she tries to treat Charlotte’s “illness” and watching Hazel flirt with some guy we already know she’s not gonna end up with. Like I said, I did enjoy this book for what it was, I’m glad that we got to be with Hazel and Jack again, and I liked where these characters ended up, but honestly after reading this I think I would’ve been okay with Anatomy just being a stand alone novel that had a more open ending, and the second half of this book just being turned into a novella that served to wrap up the story and answer any lingering questions.

Unnecessary additions to the plot in the first half, which were never really addressed again in the later half.
