The Walled City by Ryan Graudin
4.0
I never in a million years thought that I would love this book as much as I did! I 100% don't think it should be labeled in the YA genre, considering the contents of the book!
The walled city is the slums of Hong Kong. A 6 acre lot with over 30,000 residence living under the control of gangs and crime lords. This walled city is considered home for both Jin Ling and her sister MEI YEE! However Jin Ling lives on the streets.. whereas Mei Yee lives in a brothel as a slave to the brotherhood ( The gang that controls the walled city). Jin Ling has one mission only.. to find her sister and save her from the torture she is experiencing! Dai on the other hand has lived a comfortable life within the walled city. His one goal... to complete his mission before New Years eve! When all three lives collide, the plan is complete. But will they be able to complete their goals before its too late?
this was such a great book! So under rated! honestly, if you are even thinking of reading this book... just do it! Yes, it is slow in the beginning, but the climax is just INSANE!
