Welcome to Litsy!

Going to continue the series—readers tend to like this one even more than the first in the series (Jade City) so I‘m expecting a good read.

Of the three this might be my favorite. I think I has the overall best story, with the most action and the best overall flow. Really enjoyed how the war between no peak and mountain escalates and the stakes for higher.

Oh, my goodness! Definitely better than Jade City, especially the last few chapters. 🤌

Wanna start Legacy right away but it‘s already midnight where I am and last I checked, I‘m still a corporate slave. 🙄

This second book of an epic urban fantasy is excellent. This trilogy takes place in an alternate universe, with strong Asian inspiration. Our main characters are part of Green Bone Clan, a Yakuza-like family. In this world people gain power from Jade, which is viciously fought over and who controls its distribution. I will not go into details, but this is an excellent urban fantasy/family drama.😁

Terrific series, great second book of a trilogy. Hurrying on to book 3 and the conclusion.

#BackListReadathon

This past week I've read Jade City and now am mostly through Jade War. Great series, that I find pretty compelling. Will continue to the last of the trilogy, Jade Legacy when done with Jade War.

Wow, what an ending! Can‘t wait to dive into Jade Legacy to see how Fonda Lee wraps up The Green Bone Saga.

The first book was slow. This was a lot better as far as pacing and action. This series is starting to grow on me.

This series is so engaging every time I put the book down I am thinking of what will happen next and just emersed in the world. I get so attached to the characters that reading some of things happening to them gets quite difficult, this book is straining my heart. Really love this book and am so excited to jump into the third book immediately! I will recommend this series to anyone who likes fantasy

The rest of my February round up!

Jade War 5⭐️'s
Book 2 Green Bone Saga. So good!

Circe 4⭐️'s
I wish the plot were a little tighter, but overall a fantastic read.

To Be Taught if Fortunate 3⭐️'s
Chambers' writing is so character driven, that it needs more time to breath so that the reader can form an attachment. It was good, but if it were more fleshed-out (like her novels) it could have been great.

The #JubilantJuly readathon was a success, as I got through much of the Hugo Awards reading I wanted to do before this week's voting deadline. I finished my last 2 novels, my last novella and a bunch of short stories. #hugoawards #hugo2020

I also continued with my Aurora Awards (Canadian sci-fi/fantasy) reading with Best Novel nominee Jade War.

Thanks to @Andrew65 for hosting the readathon!

I really liked Jade City and was excited to read the sequel! It dragged in some places, but overall was worth the wait!

starting this tome, second in the series. Jade City was really something so i expect similar gut-wrenching tribulations for the Kaul family here! 😧

Hilo, Shae, Anden, Wen, Bero, Mudt, and the rest are back. I‘ll admit to liking Jade City a bit better, but Jade War was more expansive. The clan travels overseas (Anden) and there‘s even more political wrangling. Jade and shine still play a huge role as well. Lee is great at world building and creating a complex but believable empire for her characters to maneuver around in. Jade Legacy should be interesting when it‘s released!

What a phenomenal follow-up! It was incredibly refreshing to see issues of post-colonization sovereignty & diaspora grappled with in an epic fantasy. An epic fantasy with heart-wrenching characters like the Kauls (especially Hilo 😭💔), & a stunning world like Kekon, no less. The plot moved a little fast, but all in all this is an absolutely gripping series with unforgettable characters & a world you‘ll never want to leave. ★★★★☆.

#currentlyreading | gathering all my fave characters close like 😬😰

Fonda weaves together an impressive amount of threads to create a rich and colourful tapistry of a story. A tale of family and honour, gangsters and power, following one‘s heart and finding one‘s place, Jade War will leave you satisfied in ways you never knew possible... and wanting more with every chapter.

‪Enjoying a beautiful day on the deck with a great book. What more could you ask for? #FondaLee #jadewar #amreading #summersunshine ‬

I‘m not sure there‘s anything better than getting a book signed and personalized!

Got a visit from a favourite author at the store today (she‘s in town and came by to sign our stock of her books). Fonda is amazing as a person and an author. She even brought me an ARC of her newest book (due out July 23)!
