For someone so smart, she has the most half-baked plans. But what her luck lacks, her privileges got ... well guess she'll have time to mature

5.0

This sequel to Anatomy was just as gripping as the first part. The plot was really well developed, and unexpected turns happened just at the right moments. This element of surprise was among the things I enjoyed most about this book. Overall, the story and the relationships between the characters were a bit more complex than in the first book, which was a nice change of pace.

Bonus points for the semi-open ending and the intentionally ahistorical experimenting with real historical figures. As a historian, I often find the lack of courage to approach history in anything but didactic ways in fiction writing disappointing. Not an issue for this author!
