![]() ![]() You all know I’m a fan of multi-layered use of magic, one that has rules and limitations. Of course there are so many more layers to this story, so much history and conflict, but the beauty of this book is to discover it all as you read, so my lips are sealed.įirstly, let me say, the magic system is outstanding in this novel. There is much rivalry between these clans and both are on the brink of war. ![]() Two clans – No Peak, run by the Kaul family, and Mountain, run by the Ayts – not only control the city but also monopolise the jade industry. ![]() It’s a city where jade is predominantly mined and traded. Jade City is set in Janloon, the capital city of Kekon. Well, hello! You have my interest, and yes I think I need this book in my life now! I’m so ecstatic to say that the book lived up to this description, as all these elements shone through beautifully in the narrative. It’s been hailed as ‘Godfather-esque’, with a healthy mix of Asian inspired fantasy and Kung Fu. Jade City by Fonda Lee is the first book in the Green Bone saga. You seek to war with us, and we will return it a hundredfold. ![]()
