Description

The last quarter of the book ratchets up the intensity even further as the subplots unravelled into the proverbial shit hits the fan. An underlying but potent theme of this story is in how Shae and Wen express time and time again the duality of what a “powerful” woman means. It made things feel more global, and increased the tension and importance of the events that occurred.

She kills him but feels like she might have been too merciful on him despite all that he did in betraying the clan. An epic drama reminiscent of the best classic Hong Kong gangster films but set in a fantasy metropolis so gritty and well-imagined that you'll forget you're reading a book,' – Ken Liu, multiple Hugo Award-winning author. Disclaimer: I received a finished proof of Jade War in exchange for an honest review and my participation in a blog tour. His is the type of leadership that inspires undying loyalty as he takes the pain to interact with everyone personally. Since the first book, I felt truly invested in the characters’ journeys; it’s crystal clear that Lee understands and knows her characters incredibly well.As all good sequels should, this novel expands the worldbuilding by bringing the reader to the further shores of Espenia, to the city of Port Massy - the world's largest trade centre - where the use or ownership of jade by civilians is illegal, a stark contrast to the culture amongst the Kekonese. The Pillar Hilo, his sister the Weather Man Shae, their cousin Anden who moves abroad to study, and Hilo’s wife the stone-eye Wen. I'm saddened that my journey with these characters is nearing an end, and that's always a sign of a highly enjoyable series.

He inspired the same feeling I got while reading about Kaladin from The Stormlight Archive, which is saying A LOT given that the latter is my all-time favourite.After a plot to kill Hilo ultimately ends in Kehn’s death, it is revealed that the Shotarians put Maro up to it as he was close to Shae. Fonda Lee is a black belt martial artist, a former corporate strategist, and action movie aficionado. I read Jade City over two years ago and while I enjoyed it, since the reason wasn't released yet, I just never read it. In the first book, Jade City, the narrative was centred mainly on the feuding two most powerful clans of Kekon and the setting focussed within the city of Janloon. When I say that the characters become ‘greener’, I borrow the expression used by the characters in the book.
