Jade City by Fonda Lee
3.0

 Hmm, I'm not really sure how I feel about this one. I got to the end basically feeling like the characters were okay and the story was just fine. Nothing really grabbed at me and made me excited. I think I disliked more aspects of most of the characters than I liked, which sometimes can be okay if they are interesting, but most of them weren't that interesting to start with. Overall it felt very flat, even though it was supposed to be a rather epic sort of street gangster war that was happening. I never felt that invested in any of the characters and when that happens, I will ultimately have no interest in the plot even if it is good.

Honestly not sure if I'll continue reading on. I may, but I'm in no hurry at this point.
