![]() ![]() Image: Orbit What happens in Jade Legacy? I know that’s a bold statement…but it’s a hill I think I’d be happy to die on. It’s one of the most unique and powerful fantasy series written in the past decade, maybe of all time. Because if you’re here reading a review of the final Green Bone Saga book we’re going to assume that you’re at least somewhat familiar with Fonda Lee’s incredible fantasy world its fusion of crime stories, family sagas and magic its deeply realized politics its heart-wrenching twists and brutally shocking deaths. That said, anything from the first two books, Jade City and Jade War, is on the table for discussion, so if you haven’t read those books you may want to get on that. This review will be spoiler-free aside from some basic premise stuff, like the fact that this novel is spread out over the course of decades. It’s been quite a journey, and while I’m sad to see it end, Jade Legacyfeels like the perfect capstone to the trilogy. ![]() ![]() Fonda Lee’s tale of magic, family, and clan loyalty is the very definition of enthralling, from its first page to its last. This is especially true for a series as good as The Green Bone Saga. Leaving behind a world that has made a home in your imagination can be difficult saying goodbye to characters who’ve come to feel like old friends, even more so. It’s often a bittersweet thing to read the ending of a series. ![]()
