I received an advanced copy from the author, and this book did not disappoint! The adventures of Ella, Jaime, new and old friends kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the book wondering what was going to happen next. The theme around exploring mental illness was an interesting one that the author took and I appreciated how she kept to the theme of women empowerment through the novel showing Ella’s significance to helping explore another aspect of the medical world.
As always, we were left with more questions as the book concluded, anxiously awaiting the next book and adventures!—Michelle Ross, Goodreads review

Alina Rubin’s A Woman on a Knife’s Edge was a wonderful continuation of Ella’s journey. A female surgeon in the 1700’s was an amazing accomplishment. She perseveres despite cultural prejudice and failures of people she holds in high esteem. Rubin’s detailed research into the time period brings to life a vivid picture of the time and this woman as she achieves the almost unachievable. It was, once again, a pleasure to read this latest story in book 4 of the Hearts and Sails series.—Rosemary O’Brien, author
