Jade War by Fonda Lee

challenging dark tense medium-paced

4.0

A really impressive followup to Jade City. The plot is impressive in scope and I thought there was a lot of great characters and development in terms of story and character. It did, at times, feel like the plot was a bit unwieldy, and a few plot lines I felt ended oddly pacing-wise. I think this is just more a symptom of how second books in fantasy series tend to be rather than a specific criticism of this series in particular. But I still really, really liked this continuation of the series, and this book's handling of a crime family/triad narrative has finally made me like this genre of storytelling.
