“Anyone who thinks they can get rid of us so easily deserves what’s coming to them. The clans are the spine of the country. We’re not going fucking anywhere.”
Jade Legacy was one hell of a chunky book and the story spanned for decades so I got to see almost everyone grow old. There’s a lot of politics and scheming involved, and Fonda Lee wrote that so well. There were so many events that made my jaw (and crochet hook) drop because of how shocking and intense they were.
I love the character so much, especially the Kaul family. They’re there for each other through thick and thin. Sure, they had a lot of fights and misunderstandings, but at the end of the day their love for each other wins. I can’t even choose a favorite character anymore because I’ve become very attached to most of them.
I can’t believe I’m finished with the Green Bone saga. I’m not exaggerating when I say this series changed my life. I’m going to miss the Kaul family and No Peak clan so much.
