I had zero expectations for Chloe Gong’s The Violent Delights as soon as I saw the plot summary, just because it sounds ridiculous and very detached from Shanghai. (Doesn’t help that I hate YA in general) The ill marriage between the plot and the setting doomed the book imo. Having grown up in East Asia the book definitely reads like it was written by someone unfamiliar with the culture and did not grow up in it, and just wanted to use the place as a backdrop without delving into and utilizing the cultural background for the story, which was subsequently proven when I went to look up the author’s bio. I would however recommend a book of the same title that came out just a little bit before Chloe Gong’s - These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever. It’s “dark academia”, and an overall enjoyable and well written book 📚(and certainly less ridiculous/more believable of a plot and setting)

It's always so sad when a book has such a beautiful cover and then turns out to be not very good. I've been tricked a couple times and DNFed very beautiful books because I absolutely couldn't stand them. I guess that's why you aren't supposed to judge a book by it's cover, but... aesthetic haha

@adelaideisbooked6600 3 жыл бұрын

to be honest, I am currently halfway through These violent delights and I am enjoying it, but just like you said, Juliette is a bit hypocritical. For example, in this one scene, (not really a spoiler) they're driving to a very luxury party and they're driving through this very poor part of Shanghai, and she literally sees people dying and crying on the streets and she's like "I can't even look at it, I feel so sorry" but then does NOTHING about it. It feels like the author tries to make her seem very empathetic but doesn't take it further (doesn't make her actually do many things about it). I think Juliette feels as sorry as someone who has been born into a rich family can feel. Just my thoughts.
