In Jade War, the sequel to the World Fantasy Award-winning novel Jade City, the Kaul siblings battle rival clans for honor and control over an Asia-inspired fantasy metropolis. On the island of Kekon, the Kaul family is locked in a violent feud for control of the capital city and the supply of magical jade that endows trained Green Bone warriors with supernatural powers they alone have possessed for hundreds of years. Beyond Kekon's borders, war is brewing. Powerful foreign governments and mercenary criminal kingpins alike turn their eyes on the island nation. Jade, Kekon's most prized resource, could make them rich - or give them the edge they'd need to topple their rivals. Faced with threats on all sides, the Kaul family is forced to form new and dangerous alliances, confront enemies in the darkest streets and the tallest office towers, and put honor aside in order to do whatever it takes to ensure their own survival - and that of all the Green Bones of Kekon. Jade War is the second book of the Green Bone Saga, an epic trilogy about family, honor, and those who live and die by the ancient laws of blood and jade. The Green Bone SagaJade CityJade War

Well Damn. The reviews weren't kidding about this one being even better. It's not perfect, there are one or 2 things I would have moved around to clarify who a side character was/ how much time has passed. But those were honestly * super minor* complaints. The pacing improved from the second book as did the action scenes. All around a very good middle book. I liked how distinct the different settings were. And how there wasn't one person who was magically smarter than everyone. There were smart people in different factions and none of them won every single time. I'm not sure if there will be a time jump or more books in the universe (aside from legacy.) but I would pay money for a short story entirely about Niko learning his real back story. I refuse to believe that ends well.
could not stop listening to this book. I was absolutely enthralled from start to finish.
I had hoped that Andy would be a prominent role and was pleasantly surprised when we got a ton of time with him in Port Massey.
I already have Jade Legacy ready to go and will be starting it soon.
This book does a great job of taking what worked from the last book and just applying it to a larger scale, hence the name.
I can not WAIT to see the pay off for all of these domino's that I'm watching Fonda Lee set up in these last two books.
Also Bero has been my favorite since the first scene of book one!
re-read 11DEC2021: i am in so much pain but also, green bone women can break my back.
