A review by lizziepurpleserenity
Jade City by Fonda Lee

3.0

This is a well-built world and includes, objectively, interesting characters, and a tense, political plot, but for reasons I just can't put my finger on, I simply could not engage or care. I just kept on thinking, but why?. It ended up being quite a drag for me to get through (I was determined to complete it for a challenge prompt). I suppose I am glad I finished it, there were aspects of the ending that I liked, but I am not interested enough to continue on to book 2. Objectively though, it's definitely a good book and interesting world.
