This is such a marked improvement over Jade City it's almost unreal- I kinda don't have much to say it was THAT good! Really liked the plot here more, loved the characters as per. Wen, Shae and Anden my beloveds 🫶. I will say that ending? CRAZY!!!!!! I feel like Fonda Lee was dragged down by all the set up required for the world/characters/plot in Jade City, whereas there's little to no set up required here and it for sure pays off- I suppose it's worth it for Jade City to be the way it is for Jade War in order to be this good. Also can't believe Kehn died and BERO DIDN'T I HATE THAT FUCK SO MUCH PLEASE FONDA LEE KILL HIM JUST KILL HIM I HATE HIM SO MUCH PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE-
