clairbear1989 's review for:

Shanghai Immortal by A.Y. Chao
3.0
adventurous hopeful lighthearted
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

There were times when I enjoyed this book. The writing wasn’t bad, and there were sweet moments. I also liked the setting.

However the plot seemed kind of pointless; it felt like it was there as a background excuse to visit certain places. The main character was quite immature and annoying (this feeling wasn’t constant but repeated often). It would have been better listed as a straight up YA book.
