Immortal Longings

Immortal Longings is Chloe Gong adult debut and I loved it.

She has a special way to tell the story, and although the setting is dirty and dark, it is just impossible to not find her words beautiful.

Immortal longings is dystopian urban fantasy told by 3 main different POV, and some extra ones to spice things up a bit.
All POV are working for more or less the same purpose, but with different results in mind. In a world as damaged and corrupted as the twin capital cities of San-Er is it even possible to win?

“There are no gods in this world. Only kings and tyrants

I was hooked from the first page, and had my heart on my throat for the last 20% of the story. This book has everything I love in fantasy: high stakes, fast pace, interesting characters, foreshadowing and surprises.

The characters are the deliciously grey and it is still unclear who are the heroes and the villains. Everything is told and woven in a way that demands our attention until we are feeling what they feel. I fell for Anton, cried for other minor characters, felt anxious for the mysteries going on, and was surprised several times.

She stains his mind in vivid color, bright and burning and dangerous.

Recommended for Chloe Gong fans, as well as urban fantasy readers. If you enjoyed Altered Carbon from Netflix you will love this book.

I would like to thank Hodder & Stoughton and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
