The Anatomist's Apprentice by Tessa Harris
2.0
Where to even begin.
Firstly, Silkstone is literally no ones apprentice???
This is mostly a love at first sight story, with the mystery part being used as a catalyst instead of being the point.
The characters are one note; you have never read such a bunch of singularly motivated people in your life. Silkstone is handsome and clever and tells the reader in loving detail about decaying internal organs. The female MC (whose name already alludes me) is pretty and utterly useless. At everything. her back story sheet consists of one sentence: Everyone thinks she is beautiful and she thinks of nothing.
And while the ending had a bunch of... twists, the driving force behind three of them was exactly the same. So not exactly a mind blowing experience. I will say that the narrator on audio was good, it was free, and the final ending was somewhat surprising, I guess, so two meh stars.
