I wasn't a huge fan of her previous works, but she keeps getting good reviews so I gave this series a go as well. This is more of a mystery than anything else, with some dashes of romance and scifi (I don't know why it's labeled fantasy particularly) and historical fiction. I feel like the historical setting and context wasn't that well done here - it felt like you were supposed to remember all the players from These Violent Delights.

Chloe Gong does it again. This book was such a joy to read and did not feel like an 18 hour read. While I predicted a few things that the characters learned throughout the book, but there were so many plot twists and so many details that were woven together expertly. While Rosalind didn’t seem like a good spy, I understand why she had a hard time with that. I loved the deeper motivations of these characters and the large cast of characters in general. I am so excited to see what happens in the next book!! I’m so glad that it’s already come out, I will be starting it asap.
