![]() ![]() It is a slow burn, focused mostly on the political conflict in Shanghai between different gangs, foreigners, Nationalists, and Communists. ![]() I really enjoyed this book, which is surprising because usually I’m very critical of Shakespeare retellings. Juliette and Roma, once lovers now enemies, must struggle against the dangerous politics of Shanghai to save their city from a new, terrifying threat while navigating the dangerous water of power. A monster is coming, and people are dying. However, something is brewing below the waters of the Huangpo river. Synopsis: Set in 1920s Shanghai, Juliette Cai and Roma Montagov have lived their lives under the careful watch of their families, the Scarlet Gang and the White Flowers, both powerful gangs seeking control in Shanghai. Anyways, I wasn’t planning to review this book, but I had a lot of thoughts about it, so here we go. I promise, next week there will be no book reviews. I feel like I’ve been coming out with so many book reviews recently. ![]()
