Summary
Immortality: A Love Story is the eagerly anticipated sequel to Dana Schwartz's bestselling gothic romance， Anatomy: A Love Story。
Hazel Sinnett is alone and half-convinced the events of the year before—the immortality， Beecham’s vial—were a figment of her imagination。 She doesn’t even know whether Jack is alive or dead。 All she can really do now is treat patients and maintain Hawthornden Castle as it starts to decay around her。
When saving a life leads to her arrest， Hazel seems doomed to rot in prison until a message intervenes: She has been specifically requested to be the personal physician of Princess Charlotte， the sickly daughter of King George IV。 Soon Hazel is dragged into the glamor and romance of a court where everyone has something to hide， especially the enigmatic， brilliant members of a social club known as the Companions to the Death。
As Hazel’s work entangles her more and more with the British court， she realizes that her own future as a surgeon isn't the only thing at stake。 Malicious forces are at work in the monarchy， and Hazel may be the only one capable of setting things right。

As a sequel， it didn’t really live up to the intensity of its former。 BUTTTTT the ending was so adorable。 I’m literally so happy with how it ended。 Part of me really wants a novella to see if Hazel does you know what but ughhhhhhh be still my Hazel and Jack heart。 I love those two so much。 Highly recommend reading the first book “Anatomy” if you haven’t done so already！

4。5 stars Happy pub week to this beautiful book！ This sequel takes all the best parts of the first book and expands on them。 This is the very best of alternate history and low-fantasy/sci-fi， as the supernatural elements and reimagined storyline merges seamlessly with the real life places and characters。 Immortality picks up right where Anatomy， its predecessor， left off。 It finds Hazel quite lonely， a bit sad， but also working as a surgeon。 This book takes her to the British court and working a 4。5 stars Happy pub week to this beautiful book！ This sequel takes all the best parts of the first book and expands on them。 This is the very best of alternate history and low-fantasy/sci-fi， as the supernatural elements and reimagined storyline merges seamlessly with the real life places and characters。 Immortality picks up right where Anatomy， its predecessor， left off。 It finds Hazel quite lonely， a bit sad， but also working as a surgeon。 This book takes her to the British court and working as the personal physician to Princess Charlotte。 Along the way she becomes intwined with a secret society of some of the most well known minds of the time。 If I liked Anatomy， I loved this。 It is perfectly paced and I found the supporting characters to be engaging and well developed。 Plus， I'm a sucker for a sinister secret society， I was totally satisfied with how the story wrapped， but would gladly read more of Hazel's story if the series were to continue， On a final note， Mhairi Morrison's narration is masterful。 Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the delightful opportunity to read this book！ 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I was disappointed。 The beginning of the book really seemed like it was going somewhere， especially when she was arrested。 As smart as she is， I couldn't believe she couldn't figure out who Florence was。 I thought her time in London would be much darker， with the secret society， I really suspected that they would be angry at her decision。 Then we had to wait forever to find out what happened to Jack。 This is probably trivial， but as worried as she was about Iona's pregnancy in the beginning of t I was disappointed。 The beginning of the book really seemed like it was going somewhere， especially when she was arrested。 As smart as she is， I couldn't believe she couldn't figure out who Florence was。 I thought her time in London would be much darker， with the secret society， I really suspected that they would be angry at her decision。 Then we had to wait forever to find out what happened to Jack。 This is probably trivial， but as worried as she was about Iona's pregnancy in the beginning of the book， and then it's never mentioned again。 Iona was there for her through so much， and she just abandoned her？！？ 。。。more

Last year I read Anatomy: A Lover Story by Dana Schwartz and was utterly smitten。 Immortality is a well done sequel to the first book with a wonderfully done conclusion to the duology。 I listened to the audio and would recommend it to everyone！ The novel is read by Mhairi Morrison and Tim Campbell。 I had a personal love for Morrison's voice as I was swept up into the narrative。 The tones and emotions fit the scenes well and the accent is perfection。 In Immortality， Hazel has become more known fo Last year I read Anatomy: A Lover Story by Dana Schwartz and was utterly smitten。 Immortality is a well done sequel to the first book with a wonderfully done conclusion to the duology。 I listened to the audio and would recommend it to everyone！ The novel is read by Mhairi Morrison and Tim Campbell。 I had a personal love for Morrison's voice as I was swept up into the narrative。 The tones and emotions fit the scenes well and the accent is perfection。 In Immortality， Hazel has become more known for her growing skills as a female doctor。 It's still a time when women are looked down on for not marrying and having goals and dreams that are seen as befitting a man。 Schwartz adds a few standout touches to this novel that I liked。 The inclusion of sapphic romance， the weight of the crown and a secret society with fingers in the political pot。 There is also a character well beyond his era that notices Hazel's talent and struggle as a women in the field and supports her wholly， even as things get a little dicey。 Let's not forget the well researched laws and diseases during that era。 Schwartz seriously did a great job with the world building in both novels。 I'm keeping this one short in case others haven't read the first book。 There's a loose thread in book one that is tied off in this one and readers should get the "going in blind" excitement that I got to experience when I finished the audiobook。 It's well worth it！ Thank you Macmillan Audio for the gifted audio copy！ All thoughts are my own。 。。。more

I read the first book less than two weeks before the release of the second book， a happy accident！ Just like Anatomy， Immortality was intensely readable， and once I actually sat down with it， I read it in a day or two。What I liked:- the plot was attention-grabbing and had enough going on to keep me reading。 The change of setting and introduction of lots of new characters helped distinguish it from the first book。- I still really adore Hazel’s character and think she’s fairly believable， although I read the first book less than two weeks before the release of the second book， a happy accident！ Just like Anatomy， Immortality was intensely readable， and once I actually sat down with it， I read it in a day or two。What I liked:- the plot was attention-grabbing and had enough going on to keep me reading。 The change of setting and introduction of lots of new characters helped distinguish it from the first book。- I still really adore Hazel’s character and think she’s fairly believable， although she could do with another flaw or two。- the society/royal components were a fun twist。- the writing was fast-paced and very readable without feeling simplified。What I didn’t love:- some of the side plots and “mysteries” felt boring because you knew right away how they were going to work out。- on a related note， less tension than the first book， which made this less addictive。- the characters are very black and white。 Virtually everyone was either all good or all bad。- a couple of major questions were left unanswered。 I know this isn’t objectively good or bad， but it’s something that bothers me personally as a reader。 。。。more

I really enjoy Dana Schwartz's writing and this follow up to Anatomy stays true to that！ This story is little gruesome， a little unexpected， but still totally enjoyable。 This book doesn't have nearly as much romance in it as book one， so I'd say this is more the love story of a woman and her work。 If you go the audio route， the narrators do a wonderful job bringing this story and these characters to life！ *Steamy kisses with descriptions of tongue， some nudity， one fade to black scene I really enjoy Dana Schwartz's writing and this follow up to Anatomy stays true to that！ This story is little gruesome， a little unexpected， but still totally enjoyable。 This book doesn't have nearly as much romance in it as book one， so I'd say this is more the love story of a woman and her work。 If you go the audio route， the narrators do a wonderful job bringing this story and these characters to life！ *Steamy kisses with descriptions of tongue， some nudity， one fade to black scene 。。。more

I was excited to read this sequel because of Jack。 I had to get past 200 pages of Hazel moving on with her life before Jack’s fate was revealed。 After that point， the story was much more interesting to me。 I agree with other reviewers who suggested that this book would have been better as a novella。Thank you to Netgalley and St Martin’s Press for the ARC！

Book 2 was much more disappointing。First of all， Jack was MIA for most of the book until the 65-70% of the book。 Why that choice was made？？？ Who knows！！！！What I loved about book 1 was Hazel’s journey into becoming a doctor in the 1800s yet book 2 doesn’t focus on that as much。 Yes， she does write her own medical book but the plot is mainly focused on Princess Charlotte’s strange illness and the drama happening in the monarchy。 Book 2 basically lost what made book 1 so good （Hazel’s love for anat Book 2 was much more disappointing。First of all， Jack was MIA for most of the book until the 65-70% of the book。 Why that choice was made？？？ Who knows！！！！What I loved about book 1 was Hazel’s journey into becoming a doctor in the 1800s yet book 2 doesn’t focus on that as much。 Yes， she does write her own medical book but the plot is mainly focused on Princess Charlotte’s strange illness and the drama happening in the monarchy。 Book 2 basically lost what made book 1 so good （Hazel’s love for anatomy & medicine）。Jack as a character was also heavily underused in the series。 Why was he given a POV & backstory in book 1 only to be gone most of book 2 and not have his character explored further？？？What really saved this book was the ending。 Hazel & Jack finally got the happily ever after they deserved but I wish we had witnessed them more as a couple and team in books 1 and 2。 We barely saw them together in the entire series。This should be a 2 star but I love Jack and Hazel’s happy ending too much to make the rating anything lower than a 3 star。 。。。more

J’avais vraiment adoré le premier tome alors j’avais super hâte de lire le tome 2 même si je ne savais pas forcément ce que ça allait donner。 Malheureusement， je n’ai pas été pleinement convaincue。 J’ai nettement préféré le tome 1。 Bien que la fin de ce dernier soit quelque peu tragique， une note d'espoir subsistait avec la fin ambiguë et ouverte qui aurait parfaitement fonctionné avec l’ambiance « gothique » que portait l’histoire。Ce tome était facile à lire， rapide et fluide， mais il avait vra J’avais vraiment adoré le premier tome alors j’avais super hâte de lire le tome 2 même si je ne savais pas forcément ce que ça allait donner。 Malheureusement， je n’ai pas été pleinement convaincue。 J’ai nettement préféré le tome 1。 Bien que la fin de ce dernier soit quelque peu tragique， une note d'espoir subsistait avec la fin ambiguë et ouverte qui aurait parfaitement fonctionné avec l’ambiance « gothique » que portait l’histoire。Ce tome était facile à lire， rapide et fluide， mais il avait vraiment très peu de substance。Le livre est un peu détaché et n'a pas la même intensité émotionnelle que le premier livre。 Je n’ai pas été autant touchée。 Plusieurs intrigues secondaires sont plus fortes que l'histoire principale d'Hazel ; l'incident avec Florence， ou l'histoire de Charlotte… Le livre est un peu précipité， et il ne se passe pas grand-chose avant les derniers 30 %。En réalité : le rythme était rapide， mais l'intrigue était lente。D'un autre côté， j'apprécie vraiment le côté historique。 J’adore toutes les références et le sens du détail。 On retrouve encore une fois la question de la condition des femmes à cette époque， qui a été encore une fois très bien traité à mes yeux。 Encore une fois je pense qu’un seul tome aurait finalement suffit pour clore l’histoire d’Hazel ！ 。。。more
