Our Violent Ends by Chloe Gong

4.0

Took me a while to get through this one partly because I got busy (and because I read another book which I'll log later at some point). This duology continues to be an interesting take on Romeo and Juliet- there's some familiar beats, but other elements are remixed in surprising ways, all placed in the very real Chinese Civil War intermittently breaking out in 1927 amid an already fractured Shanghai.

The side characters get fleshing out and have a little bit more to do. The parental units were less present, though (but Tybalt is still a dick).
