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.

pulls you in

Different from most that I read the overall need to justify evil; to disguise it with family, love, & religion. I'm in this series whole heartedly

Loved this sequel

This was a great follow up to Jade City. It was heartbreaking and thrilling at the same time. I am hurt by the decisions made by the Kauls but I understand. I can’t wait for the conclusion.

Awesome 2nd book

The only thing that was eh, was how slow this one felt in the middle but the pay off was worth it. Lee has a great talent for building the tension of power politics. If you liked Jade City, this is a great sequel.

phenomenal writing/exceptional preformance

Fantastic continuation to the Green Bone series filled with a lot more world building and political intrigue. Fonda Lee is a magician at writing such an intricate world and bringing us closer to the Kaul family we love so much. I absolutely love this series with all my heart and I dont want it to end! This series is absolutely a favorite of all time.

An emotional rollercoaster!

Great character development. The story was well continued from book one, and we got to delve into the minds of several characters without losing the main plot.

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!
