'It was not quite the context in which I had imagined Alexander Platt would ask me for my help.  In my fantasies, it was from the other side of an operating table, in a time of crisis, with everyone panicking over a tangled intestine no one could unravel until I stepped up.'


The adventure continues for Felicity Montague.  She is in Scotland, desperate to become a doctor and is instead stuck inside a bakery with an unwanted suitor.  She fled (?) to England where she briefly reunited with Monty and Percy before leaving again to Germany to attend her ex-bestfriend's wedding (whom she had not talk to for years after they had a falling out) to her idol, the famous Dr. Alexander Platt.

Like 'The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue', this novel is set in historical Europe with a touch of fantasy (dragons etc :D).

I cannot even begin to describe how easy it is to love Felicity.  She is hard-headed and perseverant, but not without a conscience.  Whilst Monty was also lovable in the first book, his monologues and actions could be so frustrating sometimes.  In fact, he is much better as a person in the second book.

Johanna and Sim are also fun to read, but they are nowhere as fun and exciting as a trio compared to the golden trio from the first book.

It was a fun read and Felicity did not disappoint!


Verdict:  4.6/5
