A review by deszra
Immortal Longings by Chloe Gong
Did not finish book. Stopped at 46%.
how is it that i’m halfway into this and i still don’t understand the motivations for any of the characters?? mb we find out later but i feel like without this info i can’t really root for any of the characters. also i don’t think this reads any different from chloe gong’s YA books and apart from the general edginess of the world (which also seems more for shock value than good world-building) there’s nothing really that fits what i expect from an adult fantasy.
another review pointed out the lack of politics and i think that’s what my main gripe with this book is, we’re told that apparently there’s all this political strife but even halfway through, nothing was shown to us of the political machinations and decisions that have led to these circumstances.
