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. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends comes the second book in the captivating Foul Lady Fortune duology following an immortal assassin in 1930s Shanghai as she races to save her country and her love.

    I'm just gonna come out and say it: The Foul Lady Fortune duology ist superior to the Violent Delights duology. Rosalind and Orion have way more chemistry than Juliette and Roma. Where I was struggling to understand how those two were still in love with each other after all of the betrayal on both sides, Rosalind and Orion just make sense on so many levels.
    Their romance had me giggling and kicking my feet. Orion is such a simp for Rosalind, even without his memories and I am so here for it.

    From a romance perspective this book is a solid five stars. There is so much angst and so much yearning. I ate it all up and was still hungry for more. Rosalind is such a queen and Orion is on his knees begging for her love and attention.

    The reason I'm knocking a star off is that it was just too heavy on the politics again. I really wasn't that invested in that aspect of the plot.
    Seeing as I didn't pay attention in FLF either, I was a bit afraid that I'd scramble to recollect what happened in the last part, but Chloe did a good job of weaving in explanations and throwbacks naturally. I was able to follow easily.

    Having now read These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends, I can confidently advise everyone to read that before picking up this duology. Not necessarily for the plot, but just to truly be able to grasp the emotions connected to the characters, recurring and new.
