A review by ambersbooknest
Immortal Longings by Chloe Gong

5.0

My first Chloe Gong novel was Immortal Longings, and I have to say that I am absolutely blown away. Why I haven't read any of her other works sooner is beyond me. I'm at a loss for words when it comes to how much I adore this book. I simply can't wait for the next book after that finish, oh my god! The storyline and design of this reminded me a lot of The Hunger Games and Cyberpunk 2077. This was just so amazing to me. I was waiting impatiently to see what would happen next as a result of it. The plot took so many unexpected turns, almost all of which were absolutely unanticipated. They never failed to completely astound me. I'll admit that at first when attempting to make sense of the lore and geography, I was a little lost. However, I believe that when you first start a fantasy or science fiction book, it is the same. But once I finally understood it, the book just flowed and I couldn't put it down. Nothing I could ever say could possibly express how strongly I want you to hurry out as soon as this is released and grab it. It was a phenomenal book and well deserving of five stars.

“For five years, Calla Tuoleimi has been biding and biding her time, tending to the fury that burns beneath her ribs. There is but one task left in her vengeance: King Kasa’s head plucked from his spine and flung across the coliseum.”

I received an advance review copy from NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
