"Lees series will stand as a pillar of epic fantasy and family drama." Library Journal (starred review) 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. Praise for the Green Bone Saga: "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, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Award Awards "Stylish and action-packed, full of ambitious families and guilt-ridden loves..." Ken Liu, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards "An instantly absorbing tale of blood, honor, family, and magic, spiced with unexpectedly tender character beats."NPR The Green Bone Saga Jade City Jade War Jade Legacy

Mehso-so

Wasn‘t as impressed with this one. I just think this one moves a lot fast then the other 2 did. A lot happened all at once without enough time to develop what happens. I still enjoyed the series but this one was the weakest

1. Tagged, the final book in the Jade Bone Saga
2. Not counting my many DNF‘s, my lowest rated finished book was The Nanny by Lana Ferguson - too long, boring and predictable.
3. Veg at my house and probably be asleep well before midnight.
4. I don‘t, though I did go shopping today!
5. Very brown. My Christmas morning was super foggy and rainy.

Wow. I didn‘t cry-cry but definitely shed tears.
The whole series, not just this last book, could‘ve been shorter, though. But at the same time, I want more. 🫠
Nevertheless, I thought the ending was perfect.

kwmg40 I had shed a few tears too! There is a novella in this series. It has different characters but some familiar ones do appear. 1y
lumbricuslibri Wait what?! But it‘s not on Kindle! 😫 1y

My favorite book of May was hands down Jade Legacy by Fonda Lee. It‘s going to be a tough one to beat too! I cannot recommend the Green Bone Saga trilogy enough!

Wow! This was a nail-biting epic finale to one of the best fantasy series I have ever read. I highly recommend this series, which is mix of urban fantasy, gangster drama, ode to classic martial arts films and period piece. It deserves all of buzz and praise. 5 giant ⭐️

Finally finished the Greenbones Saga. This had its up and downs and pulling of the heartstrings moments. Sweeping 30 year history of a clan family, I can see why it has been compared The Godfather series.

A brilliant conclusion to an outstanding series! This saga of rival clans in an Asian-inspired fantasy world is a moving story of family, loyalty and forgiveness but also features great martial arts sequences and a suspenseful plot.

Nominated for a 2022 Aurora Best Novel award and a 2022 Hugo Best Series award.

I met most of my goals for the #MarvellousMay readathon, including finishing 4 books.

My other goal was to make progress on my cross-stitch piece for this month's #LitsyCrafters theme. I started working on the outer border. Those purple Jessica stitches are pretty but so tedious to do, and I've got 64 of them to complete!

Wow that was a stunningly beautiful conclusion to this trilogy. My heart was hurting and I cried multiple times but I am a bit of a sap. Definately read this series if you like family drama and modern fantasy.

Incredible world building. Complicated characters that you can't help but to grow attached. I may have ugly cried on several occasions. Five stars for each book on it's own. Together as a trilogy: *chef's kiss*

Been spending a lot of time with audiobooks these past few months since I can listen to them at work now. This narrator is...not my favorite but I've had this book on hold for like a month and a half and now that I've started I want to finish it (and it's not *terrible* narration, just not to my taste), so I will accept 26 more hours of this narration 😅
