I wasn't too sure I would like this book when I started it (and honestly, there were a couple spots during the book where it lost me for a minute), but I ended up really enjoying it. I'm not usually one for historical fiction, but the way early modern medicine is written in this is so interesting, which is what really kept me hooked–well, that and the bizarre mystery that unfolded incredibly slowly. That slowness isn't really bad, though. It just leans more gothic than contemporary, which I'm a fan of
