Immortal Longings

Ebook
☆☆☆☆
eARC received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Dive into this immensely brutal and immersive world full of power, politics and poverty. Rich with atmospheric world-building and character development.
Mainly following three characters throughout, we are dropped into other POVs to enhance the world and storytelling which took the immersion deeper. The world felt influenced by cyberpunk and had grungy dystopian vibes, although some of it wasn’t far off from current situations.
The romance/lust felt mostly off-page but we did get to see how it influences the character’s behaviour, finding an unexpected connection with someone when you feel only built to be an assassin can change you.
SPOILERS – The jumping was well explained, with the eyes showing who was truly within so why were Calla’s eyes royal yellow??
Overall a good base for the start of a new series, I’m excited to dive into this world again.
