I enjoyed this book overall, but felt that there were so many plot points that it almost seemed like it didn’t know what it was.
A historical fiction?
A romance?
A mystery?
Adult or YA?
I think the summation of my thoughts is: underdeveloped.
I loved the characters of James and Nye, plus their little crew and would’ve liked to see all of the above characters developed more.
Following James as he leaves his family behind in England to follow his dreams by any way necessary was an interesting way to be introduced to Burke and Hare in this story. I do wish the either of James’ medical schools would have been developed more too.
I feel like the relationship of James and Nye was also underdeveloped and if the author wanted to use it as part of James’ coming of age, it could’ve been more.
