MISS CHLOE GONG YOU HAVE BROKEN MY HEART AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER IN ONE BOOK

Winter is drawing thick in 1932 Shanghai, as is the ever-nearing threat of a Japanese invasion. Rosalind Lang has suffered the worst possible fate for a national spy: she's been exposed. With the media storm camped outside her apartment for the infamous Lady Fortune, she's barely left her bedroom in weeks, plotting her next course of action after Orion was taken and his memories of Rosalind wiped. Though their marriage might have been a sham, his absence hurts her more than any physical wound. She won't rest until she gets him back. 

But with her identity in the open, the task is near impossible. The only way to leave the city and rescue Orion is under the guise of a national tour. It's easy to convince her superiors that the countryside needs unity more than ever, and who better than an immortal girl to stir pride and strength into the people? When the tour goes wrong, however, everything Rosalind once knew is thrown up in the air. Taking refuge outside Shanghai, old ghosts come into the open and adversaries turn to allies. To save Orion, they must find a cure to his mother's traitorous invention and take this dangerous chemical weapon away from impending foreign invasion--but the clock is ticking, and if Rosalind fails, it's not only Orion she loses, but her nation itself.

I feel like this was the perfect adventure to end the series, but at the same time I NEED MORE. Like how can I leave them forever.

Chloe Gong is one of my favourite authors. LIKE OF ALL TIME. I can’t believe I get to meet her.

The book. THE BOOK. That’s what I need to talk about…

I personally liked the first book in the duology better, but I feel like the first book set up the second book really well. Everything got wrapped up in a little bow… but it’s almost like I didn’t want that??? Like I almost enjoyed the angst of our violent ends ending??? Who AM I?

The plot was super interesting. I really liked the twists and turns and how things connected back to the first book. I bet if I reread the first book I’d go like OMG NOW THAT MAKES SENSE. 

ALL MY SHIPS SAILED (expect one but it was never canon so that’s okay). The ending made me SO SO happyyyyyyy

ROSALIND: even tho she’s no longer undercover, she’s still AWESOME 

ORION: boy you might’ve lost your memories but it’s alright because your flirting skills >>>

Anyways I love Chloe gong and all her books so GO READ THEM

Thank you Simon and Schluster for the ARC! This in no way influenced my review.
