The political intrigue was really interesting and there were many intense moments that kept me wanting to read on. I still don't feel as engaged with the individual characters as I would prefer, but there are enough satisfying moments and an interesting enough story line to make this an enjoyable read. I really liked this- [b:Jade City|43587154|Jade City (The Green Bone Saga, #1)|Fonda Lee|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1547625704l/43587154._SY75_.jpg|55755047] was all about setting up the world of Kekon and the jade clan cultures, and with that established, War takes us to a more global perspective, as it becomes difficult to remain an insular nation post-world war equivalent. And while the clans would prefer to stick with tradition and not care about what goes on beyond the island, outside elements make that impossible (as well as lucrative, as inter-island war is expensive.) A LOT happens in this book, and over a span of at least three years (based on how it's bookended by I also really appreciated Shae's plot, though I'd like her to have some level of happiness at some point. The thing I liked most was It still feels really novel to have fantasy in a world recognizable similar to ours but not quite- still a little bit mid century as we have phones and televisions, but the phones are rotary still. Also, we didn't bury our gays! Looking forward to the consequences of Hilo's actions coming to roost as the next generation comes of age in [b:Jade Legacy|51057191|Jade Legacy (The Green Bone Saga, #3)|Fonda Lee|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1565294729l/51057191._SX50_SY75_.jpg|72702671]. My husband tells me the time jumps are greater across that novel, which sort of makes sense because I'm sure Niko will eventually have questions... Terrific. A slightly different story than the first, it goes in so many directions but Lee ensures the reader is never lost. Super readable, it's very cinematic and I found myself glued to the pages often. I never really knew which direction the story would go in, but expanding other countries/cultures into the gang war really opens a ton of possibilities. The characters continue to be interesting and worth investing in. Would love to see a movie/tv series one day. Onto Jade Legacy! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"In Jade War, the sequel to the Nebula, Locus, and World Fantasy Award-nominated Jade City, the Kaul siblings battle rival clans for honor and control over an Asia-inspired fantasy metropolis. 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"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The way Fonda Lee writes her characters has me drawn tightly into their perspectives, and I feel it all. Granted, there really aren't any good guys (so far) in this story, but I absolutely care about them - laughing and crying throughout. If you have ever watched the series The Sopranas, it is a very similar dynamic.
Normally, I would insert a light and quick read in between books with this type of heavy and somewhat dark plot line, but I am jumping right into the 3rd book - Jade Legacy. ( )
