Our Violent Ends by Chloe Gong

4.5

Chloe Gong's Shakespeare retelling of Romeo and Juliet comes to its head in the finale of an epic duology. There's betrayal and love and angst and of course death but what Gong does so beautifully is the interplay between each character in relation to the events as a whole. Some of the plots are different enough from each other that your wondering, 'how will they overlap' and Gong's portrayal of these overlaps is majestic. 

RomaJuliette are the loves of my life and whilst I'm sad that their tale is over, I cannot wait to dive into more of her works. She really is a phenomenal writer that blends fantasy, history and mythology into beautiful words and characters that feel alive!

A solid four stars.
