Description

Yun Dorupon, the traitorous former Weather Man to No Peak, and Bero and Mudt, the murderers who benefitted, remain at large. Every time someone talks to Espenian representatives, Lee feels the need to specify not only who these people are, where they worked, to whom their are faithful.

But not only do we become familiar with its geography and their roles and affect on Kekon, readers will also get an idea of how their cultures and values differ. For a more complete analysis, I will point you to the excellent review by my friend, James Tivendale, at Grimdark Magazine. However, it never feels like they’re being swept away by the plot no matter how complicated it gets. Love the expansion into international politics and all the plot threads Lee keeps weaving until the very end.

Lee gradually and continuously escalates the stakes that the characters encounter; the last 150 pages of the book comprised an unputdownable finale that can frankly be described as every single shit hitting the tornado. Jade War took every factor of importance firmly established in the first book into account and Lee expanded upon them deftly.

In similar fashion to Jade City before it, Jade War is strikingly original in its composition and presentation. Though the perspectives come largely from the Kaul family, Jade War also explores the impact such proxy wars will have on the people, particularly refugees, people in countries rife with corruption, and the lower class people who will do what they can to make it.of the book is talking about things to come, setting up stakes and tension; the problem is the payoff is extremely poor in the majority of cases. If it wasn’t clear in the first book, it will be evident in this: the characters in Jade War are all morally-gray. Anden, cousin and adopted son to the Kauls, is sent abroad to Espenia, where he discovers the Crews of Blaise Kromner are perhaps even less caring than the clans. It is the second book in the Green Bone saga, followed by 2021's Jade Legacy, the final novel in the series. The focus here is on character development, and while the prose is not flowy or much to remember - the vivid depth that went into these characters more than makes up for this.

Following the events of Jade City, the sequel follows the Kaul family of the No Peak Clan, one of two of Kekon’s most powerful clans in which jade-wearing warriors, Green Bones, pledge their loyalty and lives. If mafia families, magic, and politics are your cup of tea, I don't think it gets any better than this.

Anden, still refusing to wear jade after killing Gont Asch in Jade City, is sent to the Espenian city of Port Massy to study. He’s a nobody, a failure, a mistake, but he’s always right there at the turning points of the story.Hilo struggles to maintain his power as the Pillar of No Peak and enters an uneasy truce with the Mountain. Yet what gives this book an extra something is that it doesn’t lose sight of how all this political and military bargaining affects real people. And when I won the giveaway with my fanart of Shae and received it in the mail (sobbing whilst opening it, obviously), I had no idea that, in my hands, I would be my new favourite book of all time. Wen, Hilo’s wife, in the previous book became a spy for Shae and is doing very well at her job even though she is now pregnant. With No Peak selling jade to Espenia and the Mountain selling jade to Ygutan, the war between the clans has never been stronger — or more dangerous.
