Jade Legacy

De: Fonda Lee

Narrado por: Andrew Kishino

The Kaul siblings battle rival clans for honor and control over an East Asia-inspired fantasy metropolis in Jade Legacy, the page-turning conclusion to the Green Bone Saga.

Jade, the mysterious and magical substance once exclusive to the Green Bone warriors of Kekon, is now coveted throughout the world. Everyone wants access to the supernatural abilities it provides, from traditional forces such as governments, mercenaries, and criminal kingpins, to modern players, including doctors, athletes, and movie studios. As the struggle over the control of jade grows ever larger and more deadly, the Kaul family, and the ancient ways of the Kekonese Green Bones, will never be the same.

Battered by war and tragedy, the Kauls are plagued by resentments and old wounds as their adversaries are on the ascent and their country is riven by dangerous factions and foreign interference. The clan must discern allies from enemies, set aside bloody rivalries, and make terrible sacrifices . . . but even the unbreakable bonds of blood and loyalty may not be enough to ensure the survival of the Green Bone clans and the nation they are sworn to protect.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Sweeping, leisurely, and epic, and combines political intrigue with sharply choreographed action scenes, but it's a character-driven family drama at its heart.... The increasingly complex narrative continually ups the stakes. This worthy continuation of the larger story line delivers a satisfying tale and sets the stage for the next installment."—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Jade War

"This smart and action-filled fantasy, filled with vibrant characters, weaves intricate plot threads throughout, positioning many female characters front and center.... Will leave readers breathless with anticipation."—Library Journal (starred review) on Jade War

"[Lee] juggles the personal and the epic with deft, admirable skill, weaving a story that is equally sweeping and intimate; a magical, almost operatic crime and family drama that feels all the more true because all of her jade-fueled supermen (and women) come with human hearts that bend and break the same as ours.—NPR on Jade War

"Jade City has it all: a beautifully realized setting, a great cast of characters, and dramatic action scenes. What a fun, gripping read!"—Ann Leckie, author of the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Award winning novel Ancillary Justice

"Stylish and action-packed, full of ambitious families and guilt-ridden loves, Jade City is 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, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards

"Lee's astute worldbuilding raises the stakes for her vivid and tautly-described action scenes." —Scott Lynch, New York Times-bestselling author of The Lies of Locke Lamora, on Jade City

"Lee has upped her game in this novel, with deeper, more nail-biting intrigue and stunning, heart-pumping action scenes. Her character development is pitch-perfect."—Booklist on Jade War

"Lee effortlessly injects more complexity into an already-rich universe.... Lee proves she's still a master at mafia-magic storytelling, and this second volume is deeper and more ambitious than the first."—BookPage on Jade War

"Lee's epic twist on the mob drama is addictive."—B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

"A strong, thoughtful, and fast-paced follow-up, which bodes well for future volumes."—Kirkus (starred review) on Jade War

"Intricate, fast-moving, and brazen, Jade City elevates the fantasy crime novel to something really special. A sharp and insightful new voice."—Elizabeth Bear, winner of the Hugo and Locus Awards

Best in the series

I highly recommend this book. It is a great way to end the series and the very least scene is cherry on top. High praise for the world building, narration and conclusion of this saga.

Spectacular and epic journey

The third book in the Green Bone Saga is the most exciting, inspiring, heart rending, epically finished book of the whole series. It has everything I could ever want in the final book of a series and I am so happy with the incredible ending.

This is a must-read series for fantasy lovers of all kinds. A game changer.

My only gripe with all the books is that the narrator is really not my favorite. The way he reads makes people and situations sound childish at times. For the most part it’s a decent narration, but I feel that someone like Steven Pacey or Tim Gerard Reynolds would make the series sound like the true epic that it is.

amazing!!!!

this trilogy is absolutely perfect in my opinion, I absolutely recommend it to anyone and everyone!!

new favorite series what a story

This has to be one of the best stories that I didn't know was out there. So much better than the godfather, everything pays off twist and turns. again. I will say that I didn't have the same connection with the new generation, but it was a great wrap-up of a story. there's not a lot of books where I feel by the time the third book rolls around, that. the story is still as amazing as the first book. But the author truly improved on each book. The third one is the best one and I loved it

Brilliant

Fonda Lee you got me. I’m a fan. Absolutely loved the series even though it completely messed me up I can’t focus on anything. I will continue to support this author.

Phenomenal

When I started the first book I wasn’t thrilled by the narration, but by the end I couldn’t imagine it any other way. As for the writing of the story itself it’s absolutely brilliant. Some of the best world building I’ve ever experienced. Characters are complex and nuanced. The twists are unpredictable but meaningful. I will always think of this trilogy Fonda Lee (hehe *snort*).

best conclusion to a fantasy series

this is the best conclusion to an epic trilogy. i went through every single emotion imaginable.

The Clan is my Blood

And the Pillar is its master. I was initially worried about the pacing, but this is the best of the Trilogy and a magnificent conclusion to the Green Bone Saga.

Amazing story from beginning to end

Loved the character and world building. Though some of the erotic scenes were a little gratuitous haha.

Satisfying end to the trilogy

Good vocal performance, good story. Fonda Lee did a good job here, I'm happy I bought the book.
