Summary

On the island of Kekon, the Kaul family is locked in a violent feud for control of the capital city and the supply of magical jade that endows trained Green Bone warriors with supernatural powers they alone have possessed for hundreds of years. 

Beyond Kekon's borders, war is brewing. Powerful foreign governments and mercenary criminal kingpins alike turn their eyes on the island nation. Jade, Kekon's most prized resource, could make them rich - or give them the edge they'd need to topple their rivals. 

Faced with threats on all sides, the Kaul family is forced to form new and dangerous alliances, confront enemies in the darkest streets and the tallest office towers, and put honor aside in order to do whatever it takes to ensure their own survival - and that of all the Green Bones of Kekon. 

Jade War is the second book of the Green Bone Saga, an epic trilogy about family, honor, and those who live and die by the ancient laws of blood and jade.

I think I’m getting into politics

An amazing fantasy novel, I’m used to swords, dragons and witchcraft, set in pre-modern times. I was therefore unsure about getting into a book set in modern history, so sat on this trilogy for a few other books on my list, eventually fate would have me give it ago.

Not only have I loved the street warfare, but the political war is so integral and quite new to me. Very interesting and a bit of social commentary if I dare say so.

The first book I read, having already built the characters in my mind Kishino did not detract but in fact enhanced my enjoyment of this one with his storytelling and characterisation.

I have Legacy downloaded and am going to hop straight into it!

Omg, I Don't Care!

The title should be Jade Politics.
Or Jade Meetings. Jade Negotiations and Clan's Business Model? Something like that. Man, that was boring. Did we really have to go through the details of an agreement with thugs that were killed literally a few chapters later?

The entire book contained maybe 4 events worth noticing. Rest was just pain incarnated. And not the fun pain of stress and anticipation. No. Dull migraine pain of infinite boredom and frustration.

I need a month of reading rom coms before I'll be ready to dive into this story again.

An additional star ⭐️ was for ending that was just fire. If only it was 8 hours book, I would give it 5 stars again.

Brilliant and left wanting more🔥

This is the follow up to Jade City and continues and expands on the fantastic world building and character creation and development. It's intricate, multi layered and simply brilliant. Fonda Lee has raised the bar again and me patiently waiting for more🔥One of the best books of the year- fact!. The narrator, a really interesting person by the way, is absolutely awesome. How long do I have to wait?

I love these awful people!!

Such reprehensible people, doing stupid things for noble reasons. Absolutely fantastic story

(Drags a little in the middle, but the payoff is worth it)

Good book, some gripes with narration

Good book. Enjoyed it more than part 1.

Unfortunately, the narrator has a tendency to overemphasize once every three words of a sentence, which makes it difficult to pick out the important stuff. Fortunately, there's a lot more important stuff going on in this book.
