Omg was this book was so good, probably one of the best books I've read this year. It was beautifully written in so many different ways, the writing style, the characters, the romance. I truly cannot think of a single complaint and I recommend this book to everyone. Also

the first half of the book where Roma hated Juliette I wanted to sob, istg I cried happy tears when they got back together

.
And I heard there's gonna be a spin-off duology about

Rosalind

(I don't actually know if that was a spoiler but better safe than sorry). And I can't wait.

This was a fun way to wrap up an overall great retelling of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Our Violent Ends had as much of my attention as I was able to give between everything happening in my life as of late. Like These Violent Delights, I truly appreciated Gong’s spin on a classic love story and some of the creative liberties she took in the sequel. With that said, I think after reading this and having had time to mull over the first book, it’s safe to say that I was more invested in the characters than anything else. The plot of Our Violent Ends felt more scattered than its predecessor, had some loose ends, and it felt as though the book served more as a means to satisfy readers’ desires to see how things come together for the characters while the happenings of Shanghai were somewhat of an afterthought. Thankfully, the delightful thing is that Gong really knows how to breathe life into her characters in such a refreshing and exciting way.

From what I gathered, Gong seems to be working on another Shakespeare retelling, and I look forward to what she’ll come up with next.
