These Violent Delights

This was so good! I have to start this review by stating how fucking cool the prologue of this book is. It gripped me from the very first second and it does such a good job at setting the tone of the story and establishing Chloe Gong's writing style. I did think the first 100 pages of the book were a bit slow but since I enjoyed the world building I didn't mind. This book truly has it all. Monsters, gang feuds, politics and most importantly angst. I would have loved a bit more worthwhile interaction between Juliette and Roma before they inevitably accepted their feelings for each other. I felt that though they were together all the time before acknowledging that they were in fact still in love with one another they barely interacted for the majority of said time. I enjoyed Benedikt, Marshall and Kathleen. Again, I would have loved more time with them interacting or just more time reading their toughts. Epecially Ben. We only got one chapter dedicated solely to him. Despite that I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to reading every single thing Chloe Gong has written, is writing and will write in the future.
