Descripción: Review"Lee’s storytelling is masterful and will leave readers heartbroken and hopeful. Blood, loyalty, and lives are gained and lost in the powerful finale of the “Green Bone Saga.” Lee’s series will stand as a pillar of epic fantasy and family drama."―Library Journal (starred review)"Lee expertly balances conflict and growth on both individual and societal levels, giving this massive story weight, as every decision can potentially change the world. In both meeting and subverting expectations at every turn, Lee guides her cast to a deeply satisfying, well-earned conclusion."―Publishers Weekly (starred review)Jade Legacy is excellent, exactly what it needs to be as a third book in a big ticket trilogy. Scope, character, cultural and technological change over time, generational differences, action, tragedy, and comedy create a sweeping and majestic story that is also grounded absolutely in people's lives."―Kate Elliott"Delivers all the drama, conflict, and intensity fans have come to expect."―Seattle Book Review"Jade Legacy caps off the epic Green Bone Saga, living up to the trilogy's unique genre-bending framework."―Booklist"Sweeping, leisurely, and epic, and combines political intrigue with sharply choreographed action scenes, but it's a character-driven family drama at its heart."?Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Jade War"[Lee] juggles the personal and the epic with deft, admirable skill, weaving a story that is equally sweeping and intimate; a magical, almost operatic crime and family drama that feels all the more true because all of her jade-fueled supermen (and women) come with human hearts that bend and break the same as ours.?NPR on Jade War"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, Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author"Stylish and action-packed, full of ambitious families and guilt-ridden loves, Jade City is an epic drama reminiscent of the best classic Hong Kong gangster films but set in a fantasy metropolis so gritty and well-imagined that you'll forget you're reading a book."?Ken Liu, Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award-winning author"Lee's astute worldbuilding raises the stakes for her vivid and tautly-described action scenes." ?Scott Lynch, New York Times bestselling author on Jade City"Lee has upped her game in this novel, with deeper, more nail-biting intrigue and stunning, heart-pumping action scenes. Her character development is pitch-perfect."?Booklist on Jade War"Lee effortlessly injects more complexity into an already-rich universe.... Lee proves she's still a master at mafia-magic storytelling, and this second volume is deeper and more ambitious than the first."?BookPage on Jade War"Compelling characters and intricate worldbuilding.... I want to spend more time in Kekon."?Hank Green on Jade City"Intricate, fast-moving, and brazen, Jade City elevates the fantasy crime novel to something really special. A sharp and insightful new voice."?Elizabeth Bear, Hugo and Locus Award-winning author"A fast-hitting, tantalizing, sometimes unsettling, and always insightful book with a wealth of power at its core. A modern-day epic."?Fran Wilde on Jade City"How does a book make me giddy and heartbroken at the same time? Jade City delivers intrigue, family drama, and martial arts magic that feels absolutely real."?Mary Robinette Kowal"Fast cars, brilliant characters, and gangster kung-fu! Swift, intricate, and vicious as a talon knife, Fonda Lee's Jade City will pull you into a world of deft intrigue, hard choices, and bloody loyalty. A fantastic read."?Max Gladstone,"An atmospheric, gritty noir tale of family loyalties, martial arts, and power struggles in a city that feels so real it becomes a character in its own right. Jade City is epic drama writ large."?Aliette de Bodard, Nebula, Locus, and British Science Fiction Award-winning author"If you like ext
