Oh. My. God. I never would have guessed I would love an Asian gangster story, but this was almost perfect in every way. The world, the magic, the characters just all had me. It drags a little here and there due to some of the political intrigue plot points but even then I was having so much fun rooting for our characters. Can't wait to get my hands on Jade War ❤️
