Considering the fact that Romeo and Juliet was my teenage obsession, this was rather underwhelming to me. The premise is incredibly intriguing but to me it felt like an underdeveloped fanfic. There's potential and there were certainly moments I loved. Most of the time, however, I was bored and found myself unable to focus. 
Unfocused writing. Underdeveloped characters. Preachy on how bad communism and the west is. Where’s the chemistry between Romeo and Juliet? 
I’m mostly annoyed tbh.

This book was a wonderful read although it was a bit slow at first I found that I finished it in three days. It’s truly such a gut wrenching book and trust me when I say your jaw will drop physically many, many times. I can’t wait to read the sequel!

Objectively this books has its flaws like predictable and not very advanced plot or kinda confusing magic. However at the time I've read it I loved it enough to give it 5 stars so I'm staying at that. Compelling characters, flowery language, immaculate setting, great romance. Chloe Gong has the potential to become one of the best authors out there soon if she keeps her work up
