Jade War (Green Bone Saga): 2

Product Information

The Republic of Espenia is basically the United States, a technologically advanced superpower with a materialistic and Western inspired culture, which has far flung naval bases all over the world. Even it’s capital city of Adamont Capita is refereed to colloquially as A.C. This is reinforced once the world map ◊ was revealed, as it shows that the Republic of Espenia has co-opted the name of the continent (Spenius) for itself, just like the US did with the name of its continent (America).

Disproportionate Retribution: According to Deitist beliefs, anybody who commits violence in front of a penitent not only damns the culprit, but ensures that their entire family line - past, present, and future - will never be allowed into Heaven on the day of the Return. Xanatos Gambit: In Jade War, Shae offers Ayt Mada a clean blade in response to Ayt Mada's accusation that she's in bed with the Espenians. Although losing and dying would be high cost, win or lose Ayt Mada would lose the leverage of accusing No Peak's Weatherman of being a foreign patsy, as no one would dare make such an accusation of someone who dared to offer a clean blade to the most formidable and feared Green Bone in all Kekon. When a powerful new drug emerges that lets anyone — even foreigners — wield jade, the simmering tension between the Kauls and the rival Ayt family erupts into open violence. The outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all Green Bones — from their grandest patriarch to the lowliest motorcycle runner on the streets — and of Kekon itself.

Press escape key to return to main menu Many of you may know that Jade City is my favourite book of all time. And not just ‘one of my favourite books’ – Jade City is the favourite book. And now I find myself in the strange and unexpected position of finding a new favourite book of all time. I have loved Jade City so passionately for years that I never gave thought to the possibility that it would be dethroned so soon. It’s not often you read a book where the second book, the middle book of a trilogy no less, is undoubtedly better than the first book, and yet, Fonda Lee did it. Jade War, the sequel to Jade City, has dethroned its predecessor as my favourite book of all time. Jade War is more brutal, more devastating, more emotional, and more than you could ever expect it to be. Guan, Sarah (2018-09-24). "Cover Launch: JADE WAR by Fonda Lee". Orbit Books .

But they're also the recognized power that holds Kekon together and defends the island against its many, many enemies. The Chains of Commanding: Lan, who feels that he must live up to the standards set by his father and grandfather.
