There are so many  layers of intrigue within the pages of Foul Lady Fortune I cannot wait for the sequel and this one hasn't even had it's publication date yet! I was lucky enough to receive a digital reading copy from Hodder and Stoughton via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review and I am so glad I did. Primarily following a chemically enhanced Rosalind who can heal and regenerate at superhuman speeds, Foul Lady Fortune is a multi-genre page-turner set in Shanghai in 1931. Part YA Sci-Fi Fantasy, with a dash of forced proximity and a whole lot of historical spy action, Chloe Gong weaves Rosalind's story with the key players around her in a way that draws you in and tugs at your loyalties. I would highly recommend to anyone who loves to be kept guessing while also being entertained and perhaps even a little educated at the same time. Now I have to go read her entire back catalog!
