andrew joseph white. bravo. the writing is so tight and consistently compelling. the romance between
silas and daphne
is one of the most delightful things ive read in recent memory. theres something about reading about characters deeply entrenched for a passion for medicine that will always be a little bit of my kryptonite. especially in a historical setting AND a queer character. 
i’m so
happy they got their happy ending i was really worried
near the end there with
lord luckenbill, daphne’s father, there was gonna be a horrible twist
ending. 
there were moments in the middle I felt it lagged. it maybe could’ve used some editing. regardless it was delightful
