It's really nice to be back in Janloon, back with some of the characters I grew to love. This novella focuses on a new character, Pulo, who works as an apprentice to a neutral Jade setter when some high value Jade is stolen.

I read this in two sittings today so it was immensely readable, and I enjoyed it. I really liked seeing all the cameos, even if they felt like Fonda Lee was like “who can I make cameo right now?” But I'll forgive it because it's what I wanted to happen.

This is not a five star because for the actual story itself, our main character is more of a camera to the story as opposed to an active component of it. He does go through somewhat of an arc, but it comes mostly through watching other people tell him things or seeing events unfold.
