Publisher's summary

Fonda Lee returns to the world of the Green Bone Saga with a new standalone novella.

The rapidly changing city of Janloon is ruled by jade, the rare and ancient substance that enhances the abilities and status of the trained Green Bone warriors who run the island’s powerful clans.

Pulo Oritono is not one of those warriors. He’s simply an apprentice jade setter with dreams of securing clan patronage and establishing a successful business. His hopes are dashed, however, when a priceless jade weapon is stolen from the shop where he works.

Now, Pulo has three days to hunt down the thief, find the jade, and return it to its rightful owner if he wants to save his future prospects, the people he cares about, and his very life. The desperate mission will lead Pulo to old vendettas, vast corruption, and questions about everything and everyone he thought he knew.

Happy to be back with my babies!

The Jade Setter of Janloon is truly a treasure & a treat while serving just a glimpse of life into this world before the Green Bone Saga takes off in Jade City.

I don't know how else to explain that reading this after the trilogy made my heart soar while also shattering it simultaneously. I am in tears!

I just really love this series and will happily accept any crumbs Fonda wants to give that take place in Janloon.

Perfect Novella

Man, while a prequel, it’s so nice to just dip my toes back in after all this time inside of this world. I’m sad I’m now out of Green Bone Saga.

Fonda Lee is a master writer

I’ve read the Green Bone saga and loved it. This prequel was fantastic bringing me back into that world.

A nice listen of a well-rounded short story

I loved the seamless connections this “stand alone” book has with the other ones in the series. It gives those who have never read it a peek into that world and still keeps those who have read the entire series interested.
Highly recommend for those who need a “fix” after closing the book on the Jade City Series. If you haven’t checked out Jade City, it only gets better from here.
Consistent top tier narration by Andrew Koshino (sp?) in all of these makes it even better.

Expected

Just as everything else set in this world has been, this was just about perfect.

Great story

Really good prequel for an excellent series. I mostly enjoyed visiting this brutal world again. The story was compelling and it was fun seeing some familiar faces along the way. The narration was very well done.

A blessing to be back in janloon

I loved this story so much . Being back in janloon and hearing Andrew kishinos voice was such an immense comfort to me. I started tearing up seeing hilo and and the maiks and lan again. It remains bittersweet. I wish this series would never end !
