Jesse said: " Netgalley review, possible plot points mentioned below.

I think the Resurrectionists is one of my all time favorite books I've read in a while. I was beyond happy and extremely lucky to have found a book that goes with research I've done previously t Netgalley review, possible plot points mentioned below.

I think the Resurrectionists is one of my all time favorite books I've read in a while. I was beyond happy and extremely lucky to have found a book that goes with research I've done previously this year and my current art. I was excited to have learned more, especially with the end section, I feel like I've heard of Burke and Hare before in a previous book but not to the extent of their history (It also could have been a seperate pair of body snatchers that I read about). I believe it was a good thing I didn't catch every reference or I would have known about Mary Patterson and her demise too soon, it would have spoiled the shock in finding her body.

Anuerin is my absolute love, as soon as we set eyes on him I was hoping he wasn't just a background character we meet on a wim for James progress (Which I'd like to add maybe I should have read the whole book description - I got to excited and jumped right in). I love the more we get to know about him, his care for his crew, his love for James and Mary, his softer side, his genius, and laboratory, and his room. He always makes the scenes interesting when he's on the page.

James, I liked him from the start but he really grows on you the more he grows as a character. His first scene with Charlie was the start of my love for both of them, the way they fight the suit case up the stairs after it almost takes Charlie out. James had a few bumps here and there, a few moments of vomiting, I feel he has grown tremendously from a naive medical student to the man he is at the end of the book, more knowledgeable than the rest of his peers.

The hints at real history and real people was so well integrated. I have read books with people like Taylor Swift and etc just slapped into the pages before and it never felt purposeful. Burke and Hare had real purpose and so did their victims. I appreciate that they weren't cast as nobodies, the victims meant something to somebody, there was care in Honoring them as people rather than just cadavers used in medical research.

Overall I enjoyed all the characters (except maybe Hamish and Knoxs group but that's to be expected) and I loved the story so dearly.

I thank the authors and netgalley for giving me the chance to read and review this book. ...more "
