capgambit's review against another edition
The first 2 books were ok. 3-4 stars. By the time I got to the third book I found that I just stopped caring about ANY of the characters. The kaul family is just as bad as the ayt family. They just aren't good people. I am curious enough that I will look around for play-by-play spoilers but it just feels like rehashing the other books. Why can't the Kaul family have a "good" family member that isn't blood thirsty. At the beginning of the series I had hopes for Shae because she was smart enough to remove herself from a toxic family but she came right back with little hesitation. I could rant on and on but I know I am very much in the minority so rant over.

This final book in the Green Bone Saga is quite the feather in the cap. It takes place across multiple decades, showing our characters age and come into their fates, making choices that put them at odds with each other, showing long time plans come to fruition and falter. I particularly like how this final instalment shows the begrudging respect between rival clan members and how military industrial complex and international governments impact Kekon. I can’t recommend this series enough

This is a fantasy infused gang families rivalry epic. There is Jade withdrawal and overexposure in this fantasy series that’s depicted very much like drug detoxification. There is abundant violence with varying motivations and levels which include varying levels of abuse. Various societal prejudices also exist at points in the decades depicted across this final novel. I’m sure I probably forgot some things but be aware there are extreme swings regarding content. Be aware, that’s all.
