This one was a bit slow throughout, making me question if Chloe Gong just isn't for me. But that ending! I definitely need the next one.

Kudos to the young author! This was quite the story. I‘m not usually into the fantasy genre, but this story sucked me in. I‘m fascinated with the spot where this story was inspired- Hong Kong‘s Kowloon Walled City. I also like the Cleopatra and Antony concept. I‘m also not into the romance genre, but very much liked the love affair that took place between these pages. I am so glad I didn‘t put this book down early. It was worth the read.
Bailed at 70% because of a death that made me very angry. This is the second Chloe Gong book I‘ve attempted and DNF‘d. She‘s just not for me.
An easy choice for January! Immortal Longings by Chloe Gong 🤌🏼

4.75/5 ⭐️ Chloe Gong has done it again!! Heavy world building that was a bit much in the beginning but otherwise fantastic dark fantasy! And wow what a cliffhanger! 🤯

Read for #ChloeGongReadalong I didn‘t immediately lock into the story & characters in this trilogy like I did with Gong‘s These Violent Delights & Foul Lady Fortune series & I‘m barely acquainted with Shakespeare‘s Anthony & Cleopatra but the 2nd half of the book kicked it up a notch & it was a wild Hunger Game-ish ride to a BIG ending cliffhanger. Color me hooked now & impatiently waiting for book 2.
I‘m not familiar with Shakespeare‘s Antony & Cleopatra, so I have no idea how this retelling compares. At times I was bogged down by the worldbuilding, but the characters & the action was very well written. & THAT ENDING! Can‘t wait to see what is to come!
I 💙 Chloe.
