Reviews
"Amazing, show-stopping, spectacular. Chloe Gong does it again with her fantastical take on the classic Chinese genre of Minguo-era spy thrillers, where no loyalties are certain and no one can be trusted in the shadowy political battle between the Nationalists, communists, and imperialists. A enthralling mystery that is sure to stun as it unravels."--Xiran Jay Zhao, #1 New York Times bestselling author of IRON WIDOW
"Foul Lady Fortune had my heart pounding from the first chapter. With brilliant pacing and utterly dynamic characters, Gong transports us to 1930s Shanghai--into a high stakes game of war, love, and espionage--and conquers every page with cinematic precision."--Elizabeth Lim, New York Times bestselling author of SIX CRIMSON CRANES
"Chloe Gong's Foul Lady Fortune is an electric, action-packed jewel of a story, brimming with vivid prose, exhilarating twists and turns, and incredible characters who will steal your heart. This book dazzles."--Claire Legrand, New York Times bestselling author of Furyborn
"Foul Lady Fortune is a thrilling historical fantasy packed with action, intrigue, and swoon-worthy romance. I will read anything Chloe Gong writes."--June Hur, bestselling author of THE RED PALACE
"This book is a dark delight. I found myself transported to a different place and time, which is exactly what I look for in my favorite books. Gong's writing is evocative, and her dialogue crackles. Mesmerizing and mysterious in equal turns, Foul Lady Fortune is a captivating read, and I look forward to the next installment in the series."--Renée Ahdieh, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Beautiful Quartet
"With tense, lush storytelling, a complicated heroine and her swoon worthy foil, Foul Lady Fortune invites you into a dark chapter of twentieth century China where intrigue lies behind every corner. Intoxicating!"--Stacey Lee, New York Times bestselling author of THE DOWNSTAIRS GIRL
"A glamorous spy thriller that will leave you breathless. Chloe Gong masterfully blends romance, political drama, and Black Widow-esque action sequences into a familiar world with new characters you'll fall completely in love with."--Dustin Thao, New York Times bestselling author of YOU'VE REACHED SAM
"When I think Republican era spy story, I think thrills, triple agents, and twists. Foul Lady Fortune delivers on all these fronts and more. The chemistry was crackling, the revelations hair-raising, and I was so taken by the world that I did not see the reveals coming, in the best way possible. Chloe Gong has outdone herself, without a doubt."--Joan He, New York Times bestselling author of THE ONES WE'RE MEANT TO FIND
"Equal parts intoxicating and dazzling, Gong's newest duology is enchanting and unmissable. Each page is a finely honed blade that goes straight to the heart."--Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling author of THE GILDED WOLVES
"An electrifying, swashbuckling tale of intrigue and assassins, romance and betrayal."--Cassandra Clare, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Hours series
