This is a fun, unique book I’d recommend! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is due to the fact that I found little character development. Past that, it’s a very interesting, well-written book.

Ce livre est vendu comme une romance gothique (du moins c'est ce qu'indique la couverture de l'édition française); s'il y a bien une romance dans l'histoire, elle n'est pas centrale.
Ce livre explore la condition féminine au début du 19e siècle, particulièrement pour une jeune femme de la haute société qui est passionnée par la médecine et rêve de devenir chirurgienne.
Ce livre contient également des éléments de mystère et d'horreur; sans être extrêmement graphique, il contient un certain de description de corps/cadavres, d'éléments médicaux, de chirurgie.
Maintenant pour mon avis : J'ai passé un très bon moment à lire ce livre. Les personnages sont sympathiques, le rythme de l'histoire maintient l'intérêt du lecteur et pousse à vouloir continuer à lire.
Je vais définitivement lire le second tome de cette duologie.

I enjoyed the story so much that I wish the book was longer and not as fast paced as it is. While I think the ending might be controversial, I'm happy to say I liked it a lot.

This book was a complete surprise for me. I've always been fascinated by the Victorian period, more specifically Victorian medicine, so I knew I was going to enjoy this. I didn't expect to enjoy the characters and the setting as much as I did!

Hazel is as likable as a rich aristocrat who wants for nothing can probably be. Her restlessness and desire to educate herself outside of what was expected of women were understandable if not relatable. Jack's bafflement at her wanting anything besides being rich was understandable as well, and the intersection of their worlds made for a fascinating discussion.

The grit of Victorian Edinburgh was refreshing, as so much historical fiction sanitizes the sights and smells of Europe into something glittering and posh. This felt more realistic or at least fits my 21st-century knowledge of the time period. There is also an element of magic, a focus on alchemy, and strange murders that all felt very Gothic.
