Was fun for the first half and then outstayed it's welcome. Too much action and under-developed new characters being constantly thrown our way.

What a load of absolute shite. I was hoping that it would live up to be more than just an ACOTAR rip off after the first book, little did I know that it would get so so much worse. The traumatising rape scene really was the cherry on top of the painfully repetative and awfully paced plot.

Shanghai Immortal by A.Y. Chao

Did not finish book.
If you want to live in the head of a 100 year old woman who has the maturity of a 10 year old boy who has just learned the word "piss" for an entire book then go ahead. Such a joke this was marketed as an adult novel, attempts at humour were beyond juvenile and other elements were incredibly bland. The bar for publication seems to be getting lower and lower.
