Reviews with content warning for Death - Zoon van de Witte Magnolia's

They say Romeo and Juliet is the most tragic lovestory there is. So knowing how that ends it shouldn’t be a surprise to have a large foreshadowing of how this book would end…. And that makes it extremely disappointing.

I wanted the happy ending… it felt like we deserved the happy ending after all the struggles they went through to be together… I thought she would change the end so they wouldn’t meet the same fate… but she didn’t and that left me unfulfilled and disappointed

I really wanted to like this book, but I did not care about the politic struggle that was going on and this book was about 80% just that…. The monsters from book 1 felt like an afterthought, the romance was still more tell than show and felt off. You are constantly reminded that the cast in this book are all 19ish cause they act 19 with their over dramatic actions and stupid decisions!!!

Chloe Gong has not missed on delivering a thrilling, fantasy and romance filled adventurous novel.

All of her hard work and setting in the previous novel was a good foundation for this novel, and I dare to say that it was better than the last one. The prose of the author was just excellent in the telling of their forbidden love story against their feuding families.

Roma and Juliette's moments when the world isn't watching them have my whole heart. It's the bittersweet moments when they know what their fate is, and don't know whether they want it or not. Especially the pinky promise scene.

It's more negative aspects are the very thing I criticized on the last one and that is that sometimes the prose get's lost on the action and it's hard to know what is happening.

Overall I think it is a very solid book. l loved it.

I think I'm just bad at listening to audiobooks... Can't focus long enough and I zone out and miss a couple things every now and then.

This was a solid sequel - while I wasn’t quite as obsessed with this series as I expected to be I enjoyed it overall and really connected with a number of the characters
