tamararex 's review for:
Shanghai Immortal
by A.Y. Chao
I so much wanted to like this book - and as far as the story is concerned I did. However, I couldn’t get past the juvenile dialogue (ta-tas, some of the repetitive insults) and the inner monologue of the main character. I was excited to see that the characters were above 18 and was hoping they would act like it, and I get that being 100 in immortal terms is young, but it didn’t feel adult at all.
I really enjoyed the way the yin and yang Shanghais were described and the nods to actual historic figures and places. It felt immersive as far as that goes, but it was just so hard to get past Lady Jing being so immature and hard to deal with.
