Actually I feel like it's not enough to give it 5 stars. It's 100/5 for me.
I never would have thought that I'd be greatly invested in a book filled with clans and gangsters with the interwoven dynamics of violence, politics, and familial turmoil. When I first came upon Jade City, I had a hard time getting invested in the story since the genre isn't really my cup of tea. But The Green Bone Saga completely changed that, especially with the exceptional writing, characterization, and world-building of Miss Fonda Lee.
Jade Legacy is an epic, mind-blowing conclusion to the GBS series. I couldn't put it down, I read every chapter with bated breath. I laughed, screamed, cried, and most of all felt kinship with the characters that accompanied me over the course of three books. I could not point out any flaw in this book (maybe it’s just me being biased) but it's just so well executed for me. Every scheme, every decision, every hatred from the characters were so well-founded; you can really understand why they did what they did.
Thank you very much for crafting such a well-rounded, gripping, and emotional book Miss Lee. It reminds me of the importance of family; how it is not only determined by blood relations, but also found in people we've bonded over the years. This book is truly a LEGACY that will live on!
