Our view
Fonda Lee carries a family saga of rival clans into a war between nations in “Jade War”, and loses none of its tension or feeling. The story spans several years, with jade itself at the heart of every struggle. As the second book of “The Green Bone Saga” it follows “Jade City” and should be read after it; over six hundred pages leave room for both the family and the war.
