Publisher's summary

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.

Absolute Banger

Believable Asia, _characters_, drugs, gays, gangsters, love, magic, peace, politics, and war: this book has it all and it absolutely slaps. It carries on all the energy and promise of book one with all the characters you still deeply care about while bringing in still more who are just as real.

I can't wait to see how the survivors do in book three.

One of the best series I've read

I grew up on fantasy and on martial arts films. This series is the perfect blend of them and the narrator is superb. Can't wait for more!

Like The Godfather Part II

Somehow, Fonda Lee managed to make the second book just as good, possibly better, than the first! Absolutely spectacular the whole way through.

Expansion to Greatness

How she did it? I do not know, but Jade War got me to a level of investment on the story that I haven't felt in a long long long time. The world building is impecable, the characters are so fleshed out and real that you feel their struggles, their ideas, their thoughts as logical and human. This is a masterpiece and I am not one for superlatives. A. Kishino is top tier as usual. Amazing Job

Terrific narration

There is so much to praise in the grim dark, fantasy, gangster novel. The storytelling is captivating and compelling. There are a lot of unexpected twists and turns. It left me questioning how I felt about the ending. I’m excited to read the next book. The narration was really good.

Interesting view on clan life

Like the building upon prior books, characters, worlds, and mix of cultures into good action mystery.
