Liked this one even better than the first. The way Lee makes the reader feel the complex emotions of the characters is insane- you really feel for these people, even when they commit the most horrific violence. Clan business is no joke. Emotional and exciting read!

I love the depth of the culture and traditions of the Green Bone Saga world. I especially enjoyed exploring Kekanese, as well and first generation Kekanese in other countries. I also am impressed at Fonda's ability to make me care about people in a crime family dynamic. Looking forward to the next book in the se

This was as good as Jade City. We follow the Kaul family even further in their efforts to secure No Peak's position in Kekon and are given much more POVs and insights than in the first book. Anden is now living abroad in Port Massy, Republic of Espenia, and we follow him and his endeavour to make a home for himself far away from the Green Bone culture, family and expectations he grew up in. There's so much happening at the same time while tensions are high and the stakes are as high as they can get. I cannot wait to see how the story concludes in Jade Legacy.

“‘Out of small resentments, spring great wars.’” (292)

What an INTENSE book!

This story picks up not too after the events of the first book. Once petty disputes amongst Green Bone clans have escalated into bloody battles in the streets and beyond Kekon’s borders between powerful—and vengeful—players.

Every time I believe the heat can’t possibly be ratcheted up any higher, this story turns the dial further and further. I was white-knuckling this book until the very last page.

Lee certainly has turned cruelty into an art form in this series, revenge a brush she wields deftly and with calculating skill.

I am utterly obsessed with the island of Kekon and what becomes of the as honorable as brutal Green Bone clans who call it home.

I cannot recommend this series enough! It is the perfect choice for readers who enjoy high drama, high fantasy stories or gangster tales that remind one of the best aspects of The Godfather~
