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.

Holy Crap so much crazy $h1t happened

this book blew my mind. I liked Jade city but wasn't blown away. Jade War completely blew my mind. the last half of the book is probably the biggest roller coaster I've ever been on. It was just moment after moment of the unthinkable happening. If you didn't like Jade City, give Jade War a chance.

An amazing story, with an engaging setting

I enjoyed this one even more than the first, as it provided an excellent world broadening story. The cast broadens, without becoming overwhelming and the story proceeds logically, engagingly, and without "gotchas"

Sprawling and Ambitious

Jade City was an incredible first entry in the series, working to establish a culture and society that captured my interest. It was filled with rich characters and a well paced plot that kept me on the edge of my seat. Jade War surpassed it in every way, expanding the scope of this story, and deepening the characters. I love how real they all feel to me, their actions predetermined by Fonda Lee's meticulous characterization of them. That's not to say that there aren't any surprises in store for the reader, but merely to admire her solid character work in this excellent novel. I cannot wait to read the third entry in this series.

Andrew Kishino's performance is fantastic as well, only adding to the story.
