#1: These Violent Delights ★★★★★
This book was truly a phenomenal read. I was captivated from start to finish the beautiful plot twists and way the characters are written. I felt like I was watching a movie as I read everything was so perfectly spoken. It was amazing. I love how the author writes so much I cannot wait to start the second book in the series. That’s how amazing this book was, and the cliffhanger ending was perfect. I recommend this book endlessly to anyone who wants a phenomenal read.

Other books I’m more interested in rn, may come back to this when I’m in a different mood
not a romeo and juliet retelling, just a fantasy story with inspiration from romeo and juliet. no chemistry between the main characters. i liked the side characters wayyy more, found juliet unlikeable and roma predictable (also he’s a colonizer, sobbing). skin deep explanation of the political climate of the city (communism bad, capitalism help people). very average book
Satt i Shanghai, to gjenger mot hverandre, og jeg skjønte ikke før 70% ut i boka at "Roma og Juliette" er nye navn på Romeo og Julie. Både trans rep. og gay rep., og kritikk av kolonisme. Jeg likte den, og må nok lese neste bok for å se hva som skjer videre. Har ingenting å utsette annet enn at jeg var ikke -hooked-.
