Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Jade Legacy is a masterpiece. After not liking the first book all too much and being pleasantly surprised by the second, I can now fully call myself a Green Bone Saga fan. There is so much in this book that is absolutely masterfully done I don't even know where to start, but I'll try.

In this last installment, Fonda Lee really upped the stakes even more. I'm in awe of how she managed to juggle international politics, the clan war and character development so well and that in a span of twenty years. Seeing the clan act in a more international setting was a joy and also seeing jade used as a medical resource was extremely interesting.

At the heart of this book were the characters, however. Each of the characters had their well-deserved development in this book and the mix of plot and character work was really well done. For me, I loved the up and downs of Hilo and Wen's relationship, as well as Hilo's character in general. Shae and Anden have a lot of things going for them, but for me, Hilo stood out in this one. He's far from perfect but there's something so human and passionate about him that you can't help but feel for him. He does so much growing up in this book and seeing his relationship with the children was also really great.

Which leads me to Niko, Ru and Jiya. I loved seeing the new generation of the No Peak clan. Having a book span two decades is incredibly ambitious and with any other author, the story would not have flowed well. Fonda Lee however managed to create a story that felt truly epic and emotional. Niko and Jaya especially were a nice surprise and Fonda Lee really managed to make me root for them in just one book. I imagine writing the adult children of your main characters is tough. They really reminded you so much of Lan and Hilo but they were still their own people with their own struggles which was nicely done.

The book was also shock full of action scenes and Fonda Lee is really talented at creating tense, gut-wrenching moments. This book has broken my heart and knit it together so many times but I loved it. All in all, Jade Legacy is an emotional rollercoaster with an ultimately hopeful and satisfying ending to the trilogy.

And so we come to Jade Legacy - the final instalment in Fonda Lee’s unique modern urban fantasy trilogy The Green Bone Saga. While the series itself has had an epic feel – warring families over generations, international intrigue, larger than life characters – this final book, at over 700 pages, is itself an epic all on its own. Jade Legacy spans events over twenty years and pays off its numerous plot threads in a way that makes the previous two books – Jade City and Jade War – themselves substantial and full of event and characters seem like prologue and set up for the main game.
Once again, Lee focusses on the ongoing trials and tribulations of the criminal Kekonese No Peak crime family led now by brother and sister Hilo and Shae Kaul. The Kauls are still locked in battle with the equally powerful Mountain Clan but both are buffeted by international winds of change and in particular the desire to own and control the power of biogenic jade. On the surface it is the jade, and the ability to wield it, that gives the Clans their power and influence. But as Jade Legacy, shows, there is more to running a multi-national criminal enterprise than just brute force.
If there is any problem with Jade Legacy it is that Lee is trying to do too much. There are so many pieces that need to be moved on her global board, with a huge cast of characters, over such a long period that the narrative can feel a bit plot heavy at times, sometimes only being able to provide a summary of the action as a short cut to the action itself. Some characters get short, occasional point of view chapters to help fill in the gaps. But with such a large cast, even some of the central characters can get sidelined for long periods. But within all of that manoeuvring, and major events, Lee still manages to find the human connection, her strong roster of central characters keep the action relatable and gives their decisions consequence. And by setting her action over such a long period, Lee can explore further the way new generations approach the problems handed down to them by their forebears.
The world building in this series has been meticulous and engrossing. Lee’s alternative world has become bigger, more complex and more technologically advanced with every novel (in Jade Legacy we enter a mobile phone era and there is a subplot which hinges on the power of blockbuster movies and popular culture to change hearts and minds). All the way along, Fonda Lee has used this world as the setting in which to effortlessly blend the sensibilities of a Godfather-style organised crime tale with some kick-arse, magically enhanced martial arts action with a family drama. Jade Legacy once again leans heavily into this genre-blend and provides a worthy and satisfying finale to a truly epic series.

Thank you to netgalley & the publishers for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review

This is tough because it’s very well written, I’m attached to some characters in the series and there were definitely moments in Jade Legacy that were very emotional but ultimately, it left me a little bit disappointed.

I really love the ambition and scope of the book but at the same time I think the timeframe made characterisation suffer. Decades had passed and aside from a few mentions of some things being slightly more difficult now that they’re older, the weight of time passing wasn’t truly felt. The constant jumping forward meant that character moments and dynamics ripe for exploring were ignored.

Anden is a favourite of mine but I wasn’t particularly engaged by his plot in this book and found it quite forgettable. I’m also a big fan of Wen and Shae, after Jade War, I was hoping Wen would play a bigger role in this, and while by page percentage that might technically be true I still finished the book feeling like she deserved better. For Shae, there were moments that were two conversations she has (with other female characters coincidentally) that were so well done but as the book went on her development became more stated than shown and I lost quite a lot of emotional connection to her. Aside from Niko, the kids weren’t all that well developed, and I definitely wish the relationship between them, and their parents had been further explored.

To speak vaguely – a character’s basically only redeeming quality gets tossed out and while I’m sure for some readers it will add yet another shade of complexity to this character, for me it just kinda ruined my enjoyment of reading them (and will probably affect my enjoyment of certain aspects should I ever reread the series) and the fallout of this isn’t even explored in any real depth which makes me wonder why it was included at all? But to be fair we jump around perspectives so much there are quite a few big things that go quite unexplored so you can’t even really revel in angst if that’s what you’re into.

Like the previous two books, there are lots of shocking events and twists that make it impossible to stop reading, but as I said before, the aftermath of these events and how it impacts everyone are rushed through if not skipped entirely. Also, some sections were so full of exposition it can become a struggle not to skim read and I wondered why I was reading this instead of getting more of the family dynamics.

The ending of the book was definitely the best-written section of the book and was really beautiful in parts. I just feel it would have hit even harder if the character development had been more expanded instead of rushed through or passed over.

Overall, some very gripping moments, an impactful ending but the ambition of the book takes over which makes many moments ring quite emotionally hollow.

All this said I'll read whatever Fonda Lee writes next.

Jade Legacy is an epic end to an epic series. Spanning 20 years, it is a fitting goodbye to these characters (although if I never have to see Bero again, it'll be too soon).

There's not a whole lot I can say about it and avoid spoilers. All the best of the first two books is again evident here: the action, the characters, the writing. The Green Bone Saga is one of the best fantasy series around now.

So, if you haven't yet picked it up, now is your time. You won't want to miss out.

I finished this about 2 weeks ago, and even as many time has passed, every now and then my mind will wander back to this book and the series in general.

I feel incredibly lucky to be introduced to this series on bookstagram and book twitter during my time as a reader. Nobody really cares about this, but even though I have known about this series since forever, me taking that one step further and reading Jade City last month and finding out that this series has become my entire life still makes me laugh till this day, because my life has not been the same since. I love love love this series and you can already imagine what my reaction was when I received the email that my request for an ARC got accepted.

I love Jade Legacy. I didn't know how on earth Fonda managed to make this world that I have known to be even larger than the previous book. I love every single one of the main characters even when I don't want to, and I grew even attached to the Kaul family even more in this one. One of my favorite thing about this book was that it discussed a lot about family, and the Kauls' legacy (I mean... it's literally the title) and the way the plot surrounding this builds up until the end... man it blew me away. Jade War left me thinking on how the siblings would recover their relationship in this one and whether it will become worse or not, but of course I had underestimated them, and also the family in general. I loved how much Anden was involved in this book and also Hilo's kids.

Another favorite aspect of this book was how the clan grows into different industries and the politics that happened behind it. It was also really interesting to see how much the clan has changed and how these people are reacting towards the change. I think this book also touches on the humanity side more than the others, which I also really appreciate.

There was not a single moment where I was bored. Everytime I pick this book up, it was like I never left and I always end up having my heart beating fast when I closed it. This book invoked feeling that I didn't know existed in me and I was either happy, frustrated or in pain each time I pick this book up. I'm pretty sure my sister was getting sick of me screaming every night. The plot twists and the scenes in this book were so so good and questions that were before unanswered was answered so well in this book and I love that.

I will not be talking about the ending because, well, it broke me. Like I already had a feeling that it was going to happen, but the execution of it and the impact of it... I think I cried until the last page because the whole event really shook me to the core. Also I think the ending showed how strong the Kaul's love for one another and the whole clan of No Peak in general, and as much as it was a sad ending, it was such a satisfying ending to this wonderful series.

I think this series is one that I genuinely think deserve all the 5 stars I have given them. So excited for Jade Legacy to come out and I hope people love it as much as I do. Thank you Fonda for creating this wonderful series, and as much as I was sad for the series to end, I cannot wait for whatever Fonda's going to create next.

Jade Legacy was such a great and bittersweet conclusion to the Green Bone Saga. I love when authors end the series on the same bang that the series started with and I think Fonda Lee did such a great job. This book spanned over 20 years and in that time we got to see the Kaul siblings grow into their roles as not only leaders of the clan but also as parents(SN: Why did Hilo think his kids weren't going to be as headstrong as him and Wen, sir you were a terror child, have you never heard that the same things you do to your parents is the same thing your kids will do to you 😂😂).

Wow, I don't have the words for how much I loved this book! This was the perfect end to one of my favourite fantasy series, and I don't really know what to do with myself now that it's over.

Jade Legacy feels much more epic in scale than previous entries in the series - it covers about 20 years in the lives of all the characters. While Jade City and Jade War were primarily focused on the Kaul family (from the POVs of Shae, Hilo, Wen and Anden) and their actions in Janloon, in this book there was a wider range of POV chapters, and the action goes global/is no longer totally focused on Janloon. Geo-politics (particularly Espenian neo-imperialism) are at the fore-front of this book.

The widening of the scope in Jade Legacy meant that you didn't get to spend as much time with characters we've come to know and love, such as Shae, and we got less insight into their emotional lives. I also felt that this meant that we didn't get to know some of the younger generation, such as Hilo's children, as well as we had gotten to know the others.

However, this issue notwithstanding, I really enjoyed this book. The characters have changed so much since Jade City, and it's been great getting to grow and learn alongside them. Also, Jade Legacy is a LONG book, but it never dragged, as the pace was quick, and so much was happening.

And no spoilers, but the ending was perfect.

I'm so sad this series is over now, as I've loved basically every page of it, but I'm looking forward to seeing what Fonda Lee writes next!

I had no doubt that Jade Legacy would manage to thrill me (and let’s be real, traumatise me), just as Jade City and Jade War did. It’s a long book, or as experts call it, a Chonky Boi, and I feel like I had been holding my breath for the entire time I was reading it. I was on edge. I started biting my nails again. I cried so much. It was an amazing experience (sidenote: are we SFF readers okay?)

Jade Legacy is the culmination of the splendid and nerve-wracking arcs started and developed in the two previous books. We’re back with the One Peak clan, in its multidimensional chess game against the Mountain. In boardrooms, in the streets, in the public opinion, and even abroad, there is a war still raging for domination between the two clans, each of them looking for an edge in a world that is changing too fast, and where they might become obsolete.

The story often skips months, years ahead, which could be dizzying at times but we are anchored by the pains and joys of the Kauls, their losses and their victories. We also go from micro to macro, zooming in and out from the minutae of the characters’ lives to the fate of nations. Both narrative tools allow us to take things from a broader perspective; and rather paradoxically, allow us to better understand what the characters go through: there is an incommensurable loss but time blunts the edges of grief, there is a senseless personal tragedy but the world keeps on going. It is, in a word, masterful.

Another Signature Fonda Lee Talent is the character development, which is again a thing of beauty in Jade Legacy. The characters are still very much themselves but you can see what experience did to them, you can see the ghosts of mistakes past in their new decisions. Their growth is absolutely thrilling to follow – Anden’s, in particular (in particular because I freely admit he is my favourite and I was full-on “you’re doing amazing sweetie”-ing him in this book). Anden’s character arc from a lost teenager with too much jade power and too little faith in his ability to control it, to the magnificient wholeass adult he became, was incredible. Even Hilo learned some stuff from the absolute trainwreck he often made of things in the past! Which means he now creates different trainwrecks, but… You Know What That Is? Growth dot gif.

And just as the characters grow, so does the world they evolve in. It had already started in Jade War but we see more technological progress. Suddenly phones are mobile. Suddenly Internet is a thing. But the world also changes in a more subtle way; how people see the clans and their role in society, how jade is perceived…it creates threats and opportunities for our protagonists, strange alliances and new foes.

Jade Legacy is often about characters finding their place in the world at large, and in the clan more specifically. And it goes double for the new generation, which is growing in a world with different rules. These new characters are doing things their own way, shaping their sphere of influence and wielding power differently.

The plot plays with different textures of tension, the diffuse kind from political lobbying, geopolitical manoeuverings, and business deals, and the explosive one (I wish I could say no pun intended) from high-action, high-adrenaline scenes. It’s an exhilarating balance that will keep you on your toes at all times.

This trilogy is perfect. Simply perfect. And Jade Legacy was one hell of a final, devastating ride. I am sad it is over, but I’m sure Fonda Lee will find new ways to torture us. Yay? Yay.

Jade Legacy is the final part of Fonda Lee’s Green Bone Saga. I had a great time with the first two parts of this series, which combines criminal enterprise, hands on politics, beautifully kinetic trans-natural martial arts, family drama, and discussions of identity, culture, and construction of the self. If that’s a bit of a mouthful, I’ve also described it as The Godfather meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, though that does this series a disservice. It has deep roots, asking thoughtful questions whilst also not being afraid to show us raw humanity, and get the reader to feel things.
The tl;dr is that this is a great book. I didn’t want it to end. I found myself reading through the night, wanting to see what happens, but also not wanting to finish up. That’s always the mark of a great story. I suspect it’ll keep you all up late reading it as well!



This is a sublime family saga, filled with pain and joy in equal measure. Explosive, brutal, graceful violent action dovetails with raw emotional honesty, politics, crime and conspiracy. All ties to the lives and loves and hard choices and harder costs borne by a family we’ve followed for two books now. It’s a bloody, compelling, emotional story, and a fantastic finale to a cracking series.


Fittingly given the title, legacy is a core theme here. he country of Kekon is a minor power with a unique resource, surrounded by global superpowers engaged in a long, slow, cold war. How Kekon navigates the geopolitical reefs will be decided by its clans, groupings of families and tributaries who are the heart and soul of politics and finance in Kekon. The clans run retail, they run manufacturing, they run housing. They have economic arms which look after their people, which buy factories and movie studios, and more martial arms, with one eye toward arms and drugs, and the other protecting the assets of their clan, and looking to seize the territory of others. We know the No Peak clan best of all from this series, and their rivalry with their closest contender, the Mountain, the conflict in ways that these entities want their country to work, is a core part of this book. Because the families at the top of these clans, they can’t stand each other. Theirs is a decades long history of blood and violence. But it’s also becoming something else - because if the clans can’t stand together to the outside world, they’ll be ground on the uncaring edges of superpowers that only see them as pawns in service of larger games.


We can see through the eyes of the higher echelons of No Peak as they attempt to navigate their personal feud, whilst preserving their country in the face of outside pressure. But also, they have to contend with a changing world, a world that is moving forward as it is in part because of their actions. A more connected world. A more tolerant one, perhaps. Or perhaps not. It’s a question, you see, of values.Hilo, the head of No Peak, is someone we’ve seen move from young, hotheaded killer to, well, something different. A leader who banks the fires of passion until needed, with a personable style, raw cunning and personal charisma - but Hilo is also aware that he’s shaping his country, and working out how that will work. And so are the rest of his family - mothers and sisters and sons, brothers, occasional cousins. Everyone has an agenda, and everyone is shaping the future.


Hilo and his family, at the head of one of the largest socio-political engines of their nation, have to decide what sort of future that’s going to be, and how willing they are to fight for it


Of course, it’s not all council meetings, quiet bribery and blackmail. There’s simmering revolution out in the streets. There’s Kekonese immigrants in other countries, whose communities are under threat (and this nuanced ,thoughtful exploration of cultural identity in different contexts is a joy incidentally, one with deep roots), and whose sense of self is a little more fluid, out from under the thumb of centuries of cultural shaping; being able to decide who they want to be, though of course under the strictures of another culture entirely.


And there’s questions of class, and the way that those who wear the jade, and are able to fight and kill with supernatural speed and pwoer, are also typically the power elite in Kekon. What does that mean for those that don’t, or can’t wear jade. What society do they live in? Is it the one we see between the cracks of the dream of the clans?


Which is all getting rather wooly. So let me put this out there, grounding, and an ending:


Jade Legacy is a brilliant book. It explores class and culture and identity through the personal lens of a family steeped in soci-opolitical power. But it also explores the personal stories of that family. Their loves and woes, triumphs and tragedies. The way they bounc eoff each other, and off those around them. It’s not all big questions. Some of it is intimate, emotional, parents working on marriages, children deciding who they’re going to become (and family trying to help them decide, with varying success!). There’s blood and sweat and tears here, but it’s laced right through with passion and friendship and love that comes off the pafe and seeps right through your fingers into the bone.


This is a family story, a personal story, and that’s what will make you feel, what will make your heart break and your soul soar as the story errands. And it will, and it does.


Go now, and read this book; it’s worth it.

Creo que Fonda Lee ha conseguido rematar de una manera impecable esta saga familiar con una novela larga pero extremadamente fluida, dejando que los sentimientos estén a flor de piel.


Ya conocíamos los puntos fuertes de las anteriores novelas, pero en esta ocasión la autora decide agrandar la historia. Alarga el alcance temporal ya que hablamos de varias décadas, aumenta la dispersión de la historia gracias a las ramificaciones internacionales de la trama, aumenta el número de personajes que entran en liza… Una apuesta muy arriesgada que le sale extremadamente bien, porque los saltos temporales dentro de la narración son muchos, dejando grandes espacios de tiempo a la imaginación del lector. Esto habla muy bien de la planificación de la novela por parte de la autora, ya que la trama no se resiente por estas ausencias.

Ya he mencionado antes que se trata de un libro largo, más de 700 páginas que sin embargo pasan volando, porque nos sentimos tan involucrados en el devenir de la historia que es difícil dejar de leer para hacer otras cosas, siempre nos queda ese ansia de un capítulo más.

No me cabe duda de que unos de los puntos fuertes de la novela son las escenas de acción, perfectamente coregrafiadas por Fonda, a la sazón experta en artes marciales. Pero en esta ocasión se utilizan de una forma más espectacular las capacidades que el jade ofrece a sus usuarios, con momentos que no desentonarían para nada en una película de superhéroes. Además, con el paso del tiempo y las intrigas internacionales el jade comienza a estar disponible para más personas ajenas a la cultura kekonesa, por lo que también veremos nuevos usos de sus características, como protección contra explosiones.

Se concede mucha importancia a la estructura empresarial de los clanes, algo que ya se vio venir en Jade War pero que ahora cobra una importancia vital, ya que lo que está en juego es la continuidad de la propia existencia de los clanes. Vemos cómo se desarrolla ante nuestros ojos una guerra fría por el control de los recursos tanto dentro como fuera de la isla, con el territorio constantemente en disputa entre los grandes clanes y la presencia de actores internacionales que tratarán de influir para su propio beneficio.

Jade Legacy es también una novela de personajes, ya que conoceremos a la siguiente generación de los Kaul, aunque sigan teniendo más importancia aquellos con los que comenzamos el peregrinaje de esta saga. Un camino plagado de dolor y pérdida, de sufrimiento pero también de alegría, de rencor y venganza. Este aspecto de la novela es sin duda el que más mella hace en el lector, porque es imposible no empatizar con esta familia, a pesar de todos sus defectos y fallos.

En definitiva Jade Legacy es una obra muy ambiciosa pero que gracias a ello ha conseguido resonar en mi memoria durante mucho tiempo.

Finishing Jade Legacy felt like getting punched in the gut. This was a masterpiece of a book and ended up destroying me in ways I did not expect. I will need a long time to recover from this. Fonda Lee has crafted an incredible story, an incredible world and an even more incredible cast of characters; all of which will remain with me for a long long time. When I first started reading the Greenbone saga last month, I never expected to be this attached to this world. But here we are. I wish to experience this world in some way. I want to live in this world of clans, live in Janloon and see the Kaul family. I would love to be friends with Shae, with Wen, with Hilo and with Anden. Frankly, I would love to be friendly with the entirety of the Kaul family.
And not just the Kaul family; the other characters from Ayt Mada to Bero to the many other side characters that were a part of this book; all of whom got incredible storylines and perfect endings.

Jade Legacy and the entirety of the Greenbone Saga will forever stay with me.

Hot damn! Fantastic conclusion that kept me guessing till the last moment. Emotionally devastating and yet strangely satisfying the green bone saga will continue to enchant fantasy lovers for a long time to come. The character growths, plot twists, the worldbuilding ---are simply marvellous.

i received a digital arc from the publisher, orbit, in exchange for an honest review.

jade legacy is the epic finale to the epic urban fantasy trilogy of the green bone saga. i gave the former 2 books full 5-star ratings and with this 3rd one another 5, i think it's safe to say this is one of my—if not my one ultimate—favorite sff series of all-time. the series as a whole is a brilliant, pulsating read, but maybe jade legacy is my favorite out of the three because it hit harder having known the characters for longer.

this final book spans about 20 years with these characters that started in their teens and mid-twenties in book 1, jade city, and end up in their forties and older—it is frightening and exciting all at the same time! however, fonda lee excels at making it all work. it doesn't feel like a blank leap in time because the author fills us in and makes us feel part of this story, feeling deeply for this incredibly well-written characters, weaving us through an evocative story of intrigue and magic and family.

jade city was already a masterclass, jade war elevated the scene, but jade legacy upped the scale and took it splendidly further.

we follow the social and political implications of the continuing blood feud between the no peak clan and mountain clan, along with the expansion of the world in the green bone saga and the exploration of the cost and seemingly never-ending consequences of war. this book delves even deeper than ever into the difficult, pivotal decisions that change the characters' lives and takes the reader unexpected places that prove to be very impactful. even if you aren't into political intrigue (which, i am, so i soaked in every bit of enjoyment from this aspect of the story) — you will still be on the edge of your seat and intrigued to know what happens next, because in the green bone saga, we learn that every decision has consequences no matter how right or wrong it is. in this case, i was a bundle of nerves, fearing for the character i feel so passionately about, and excited to see where fonda lee takes the reign of the story. it was never, never boring, and always had me feeling either excited and adrenaline-pumped, or sad and devastated.

the green bone saga is a fantasy saga that married modern asian history and culture with epic gangster intrigue, martial arts, and magic, and was ultimately, at its core, about family and choices. this is what fonda lee set out to do as her passion project, and in my humble opinion, it paid off incredibly. these characters are miles-apart different, but they all grapple with who they are and what is important to them and how to do the best thing at a given time, whether their decisions are driven by duty or desire. they are constantly torn and conflicted and weighed down by their own expectations and those of others, and it keeps the reader intrigued, wanting to know more, and eventually growing attached to them. these characters learn, along with the readers, to to find the strength to make their own decisions while also making peace with the fact that much of fate is driven by circumstance. the family dynamics in this series are exceptionally compelling. in a culture-infused setting, "family and personal identity can’t be disentangled."

it was especially astounding and appreciative how women were written in this crime and gang story. it's undeniable that throughout history it’s typically men who are held up as heroes, in real life and in fiction, while women are presented in supporting roles or as villains. across the history of literature and storytelling, "strong female characters" are outnumbered by the famous villainesses who stand in the way of the man or the supporting, loving wife who does nothing substantial except provide the soft side narrative to the (man) partner. in the green bone saga, fonda writes women in different roles on a whole other spectrum than i've ever read before. from the "willfully ignorant and passive mob wife" shae’s mother kaul wan ria, to the "supportive partner and soft power behind the throne" maik wen, to the "exceptional strongwoman who succeeds by outcompeting the men" ayt mada... they all present a variety of strong women with real levels of complexity and a stunning amount of depth about them.

wen is my absolute favorite character across all three books (her role escalates and becomes more significant as we get deeper in the story—jade legacy really shined with the raw and real beauty that was maik wen's character) and she's one of my top fictional female characters ever. shae also ranks high as part of the kaul siblings and her dynamics with everyone, such a strong and resilient character with faith in her self and her family. ayt madashi is a compelling "villain" in the story because she’s a tenacious rival to the protagonist narrative of the kauls and no peak clan, but when you consider her rationale, i wouldn't mind reading from her perspective as the protagonist either. she is tough and ruthless and determined to climb to power in a highly male-dominated culture. she's made immoral decision, but we can say the same for many of the highly-held men here, too. i love her character so much because she can be a hero or a villain in the eyes of some people—and had she been a man, maybe the opposite would be seen.

this is not to say that the narrative pretends that there is no systemic prejudice against women and to make them every bit as prevalent and accepted as the men; that's as unrealistic as it being complete marginalization of women. one of the things fonda lee wanted to depict in the green bone saga is "a society and a culture being altered, sometimes painfully, by the march of modernity, and the changing role of women is part of that," and i'd say that as a reader, this translated through the writing and storytelling so powerfully.

and as much as i praise the women to no end here, the men characters are absolutely not dealt any less-than-richly-nuanced card either! from emery anden, to the maik brothers, to the young generation of the kaul siblings (which, by the way, i adore to infinity!), they all have interesting, compelling and conflicting character arcs. especially the man of the show, kaul hilo, who has my feelings in a war. lia from an ode to fiction has an in-depth appreciation blog post breaking down hilo's character as part of the jade legacy pre-order campaign, and i could not have worded it better if i tried. (also check out her amazing review on the blog and gr!)

seeing how everything else falls into place, i have to say that the world-building is incredible. fonda based kekon and janloon on a mix of historical, cultural, and geographic influences that included taiwan, hong kong, singapore, and okinawa in the latter half of the twentieth century. there was heavy research involved on the history and culture of organized crime groups including the chinese triads, japanese yakuza, and the italian-american mafia. and more, including chicago during the time of al capone and the gangs of new york in the 19th century, jade mining in burma, the blood diamond trade in africa and drug trafficking in mexico. there are so many rich aspects woven through the nitty-gritty parts of the green bone saga and it shines through as a vivid, pulsating and intricate world. i feel engaged enough that i could step into the world of kekon and janloon any minute as i read.

if i could ramble on about this book (and trilogy), we really would be here forever. this book broke me, healed me, shattered me to pieces and spilled tears on my grave and made me reach extreme levels of vulnerability.

gut-wrenching, evocative and painfully delightful, jade legacy packs a punch to the end of an era; it is truly an epic, satisfying conclusion to an unforgettable and undeniably impactful story, with characters that will live in my heart forever.

One of the main things that makes this series stand out from so many others is the scope, not only in time but characters, pov's and settings. As a reader, being able to follow the same set of characters over a 30 year period was certainly something special, especially for someone like me who can't help but get invested in the lives of the characters. Lee ensures you have no choice but to become an honorary member of No Peak, their successes are your successes, their failures your failures, their enemies your enemies... I'm looking at you Ayt Madashi, and with the final book she certainly takes both her characters and readers on an emotional roller coaster.

If you know me, then you know that the one thing that will ensure I love a book is well written characters, something that this series has in spades. Though the story centres around No Peak and the Kauls, we get POV's from both allies and enemies of the clan as well as the Kaul's themselves. It's honestly staggering the amount of POV's we get to read from, but while they are plentiful it never gets overwhelming, each new POV come's at a pivotal point in the plot, and all add in to the political intrigue, leaving little crumbs that come together to form one hell of an epic story.

As I mentioned before it's hard not to feel as though you become a member of No Peak when reading this series, and though none of the clan are what I would call morally right characters, you can't help but agree and empathise with their decision making. Throughout the series Shae has been my favourite character and that didn't change with this book, but the two characters that really stole the show for me were Hilo and Anden. Both of these showed humongous character growth in the final book, Hilo realising that his quick to anger attitude isn't always the best way and that maybe, just maybe, he can leave his children with a better legacy than was left to him. Anden really comes into his own in this book, he has always been a man of two worlds, inside the clan and out, but in Jade Legacy he realises that there are benefits to not really being wholly one thing, and that his benefit to No Peak might lie outside of clan business. Wen was another character that really came into her own in Jade Legacy. After the shocking ending of Jade War she was still overcoming her injuries and whilst Hilo would have been happy with her staying out of Clan business for her safety, she was unwilling to become a wall flower, someone trotted out at parties, she wanted a voice, a seat at the table, and she truly took No Peak to new heights in this book.

I keep talking about the scope and time frame of this book, but it really does make such a massive impact on the story. Because of it we get to see three generations of Green Bones leading No Peak, we get to see Hilo grow into his position as Pillar, not always making the right decisions but making them form the heart nonetheless, and with Jade Legacy we also get to see Hilo, Wen and Lans children grow into future leaders of the clan. I honestly would love to continue this series, following them as they grow into their roles in No Peak, seeing the differences in how they would run the clan, deal with disagreements, than their predecessors did. As well as this we get to see how each generation deals with The Mountain and their leader Ayt Madashi, the one true enemy of No Peak throughout the series. I had a conflicted relationship with her, not only because of the hurt and trouble she caused No Peak, but because she was a woman who had to fight for everything she had. I would have loved to have a chapter or two from her POV, if only to see if she was truly as ruthless as we thought, or if like No Peak, she had underlying reasons for her decisions other than power.

Lee also graces us with a master class in world building. From book one we see the troubles in Kekon with foreign investors coming in and trying to disrupt the culture and clans that have ruled it for generations. No Peak realise that to ensure their status and culture stays intact that they need to expand, people need to see Green Bones as something other than the dangerous hooligans that the foreign media portray them as, and from the first book we see them strengthening their ties abroad and through this we get to visit a multitude of different places from Espenia to Shotar, learning about these other cultures and their ways, as well as the Green Bones that inherit these lands and how they differ from the clans in Kekon. In Jade Legacy we get to see the fruits of their labour, all the hard work that Shae, Anden and Wen put into expanding No Peak, and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Shae be able to turn around to those who questioned her motives at first, knowing that she had achieved something no other Weather Man had been able to before.

I don't know how many different ways there are to say fuck, but I think I went through them all with this book. From the shouted FUCK! when something you weren't prepared for happened to the slow fuuuuck when you see all the pieces coming together and just know you're not going to like the outcome. There are some more of Lee's usual epic fight scenes, and one in particular that made the hairs stand up on my arms. I'm adamant that this would make and unforgettable transition to TV. As I mentioned before, reading this book makes it hard not to become overly invested in No Peak and the characters which meant that this book took me through ALL the emotions. I laughed, cried, got angry, but in the end just felt content, content that it could have ended no other way. The story kind of went the full 360 degrees, ending in a similar way to when it started and I couldn't help but love how it ended.

I know this is probably more of a series review than a review solely for Jade Legacy, but it's so incredibly hard to talk about this book without invoking the previous two, or giving away spoilers. It's a meticulously crafted fantasy trilogy filled with politics, family and the inner workings of clan life, with unforgettable characters that you will both love and hate, epic fight scenes and a scope like no other. Jade Legacy has cemented this series into my all time favourites, and I will certainly miss this world and the characters that inherit it.

I wish I can give this 10/5 stars because that’s what it deserves.

Jade Legacy is the finale to the epic Green Bone Saga series, one that has my whole fucking heart, god I love this series so much. Jade Legacy, as the title implies, spans a long period of time - a whole 20 years. We are following whole different generations in this series, witnessing their mistakes and their triumphs, watching some age and others grow. As a reader, it genuinely feels like I’ve known these characters for a whole lifetime. Fonda Lee is a master with these time skips, they are never jarring or messily done.

Every event in this book feels so perfectly paced, the tension is always at a high hum which makes you want to flip to the next page immediately. It’s amazing how quickly Fonda Lee can change the scene from relaxed to tensed, playing around with the power dynamics in such a seamless manner. On one page, a new hierarchy has been established or hinted at, and on the next page a whole 180 occurs. It is so, fucking, spectacularly done. It’s this constant shifting of power, keeping characters on their feet as they plot and execute that makes this book so damn addictive.

It never feels like there’s an overabundance of morbidity and pathos but when scenes that need that edge come on-page, they are so well handled, giving the characters so much more depth and fuel to carry the narrative. And it makes us cry so bonus! (I sobbed several times throughout this book, get those tissues ready) Fight scenes are (as expected) really smartly written, the incorporation of the jade abilities with martial arts, weaponry, etc just gets more creative and exciting to read. I love that there are fights in this book that are on a much larger scale but there is still an emphasis on the more grounded one-to-one combats that this book is known for.

Of course, I can’t go without talking about the <i><b>characters</b></i> in this series… It feels like every character was properly fleshed out and given their due time. Every side plot or character all ended up having a role to play in the bigger battle. Fonda Lee does not waste a single character. Using Green Bones, White Rats, regular civilians, everyone outside of the Kaul family to further widen the scope of world building (like in Jade War), and give us fresh perspectives that allow the plot to be told in such a smooth and clever fashion.

Two of my favorite characters in the series are Wen and Hilo, for different reasons but individually and as a couple, the two go through so much together. Wen gets one of the best arcs ever that I was hoping for since Jade City, it is so satisfying, I was yelling in my room. She deserves the whole world. I will argue that though Wen is my personal favorite, Hilo is still the best character in the whole series. I don’t care if you still hate his guts, he is the best-written character in this series! I don’t want to hear it! Hilo is such a flawed and human character (I guess that’s like saying the same thing twice), but he is also so skilled in his own right which makes him such a great character to follow throughout this series. Watching him struggle with his clan responsibilities, with family, the ever-changing state of the world and what that means not just as the Pillar but as a Green Bone, etc, has led me to feel every fucking emotion. What I fundamentally love about him, besides the nipple rings, is his loyalty and love towards his family - and this extends to those who aren’t blood-related - I love how he learns and tries so <i>gosh damn hard</i> to be better but Fonda Lee is never afraid to show him failing regardless. His motivations can all be traced back to his undying passion and loyalty to his loved ones and his clan which is something that is admirable to me. His growth, from Jade City to Jade Legacy just makes me tear up.

I’m not going to dive too deeply into Anden and Shae’s characters but rest assured they are given just as much development and stand-out scenes that placed them in <i>situations</i>, bringing some spectacular moments in the series. They just feel so real to me, I know these are words on pages but I genuinely connected to all of these characters a scary amount.

The politics in this book in particular is so meticulously handled, with the setting of the final book, its time span, there are tons and tons of parties involved in this final war. And Fonda Lee never lets any party feel out of place, everything is so well planned out and handled, it gives the characters the opportunities to witness these politics on a larger scale, making them feel incredibly vulnerable and powerful at different times. It never feels tedious or thoughtless, there is just so much nuance and perspectives provided that it feels so grounded.

Just to conclude again, I feel like I can gush about this book forever. I could dissect it to death, I could experience every emotion under the sun with each reread, this is truly one of those series that I will truly remember for a while. What a stunning conclusion to the series.

<i>”the clan is my blood, its pillar my master”</i>

Jade Legacy is the finale to the green bone saga and I can honestly say it is a perfect conclusion to one of the best modern fantasy series. It’s truly a book of family, legacy and sacrifice. The emotional stakes, political tensions and clan violence are at an all-time high, leaving you breathless and unable to stop reading, despite being quite a chunky book.

Jade Legacy spans the course of about 30 years, which at first I was a bit sceptical about but it truly fits the story so well and turns it into a sprawling epic and multigenerational story. It also allows time for slow burning political stakes to build and the long term ramifications of certain actions, which I think is something you don’t see as often in fantasy, especially urban fantasy. Additionally it allows you to see the changing family dynamics through time creating some incredibly moving scenes and lasting emotional damage. We literally see the characters grow up both from children to adults and from adults into wiser adults – you really feel like part of the family.

I’ve never had a book cause me so much pain (with the possible exception of Robin Hobb) – Fonda Lee has never pulled her punches and spares no mercy to the reader in this instalment. I’m not someone who easily cries in books but I teared up multiple times during certain scenes and when I tell you a certain character death was the most painful thing I’ve ever read.

My favourite part of these books has always been the Kauls and their family dynamic, while the stakes are incredibly high it is still fundamentally a story of family and the relationships they have with one another. A highlight for me in Jade Legacy was the kids – Niko, Ru, Jaya and Tia all have very special places in my heart now and I just want the best for them all T_T Ru in particular is my feral cinnamon roll child and I just want to wrap him in a blanket and feed him.

The characters are all outstanding but I thought Hilo’s arc in particular in this book was superb. The character growth was masterful; seeing the way time, age, wisdom, events and his children change him (I want to say for the better haha) was very moving to read. He is such a well-crafted and complex character and while not being my favourite character ever (he can be very questionable at times lol) I do think he is one of the best examples of a realistic and flawed leader. Anden is my personal favourite – we have a lot in common being both queer, studying medicine and being cinnamon rolls haha so I’ve always felt a connection with him and I loved seeing his story in this book and again seeing how he changes with time and wisdom.

Shae and Wen are also two of my all-time favourite female characters and they do not disappoint in this book. Wen has been through an awful lot up to this point and seeing her journey back to herself was incredibly moving. Shae has always been the glue that holds the family together and seeing her journey throughout this book was very emotional as well. It’s kind of hard to talk about character arcs without spoilers but just know every single character had a satisfying ending and arc throughout the course of the book.

This book has so many dramatic, cinematic moments that will have you on the edge of your seat. Lee’s writing style lends its self so beautifully to visualisation and creates incredibly tense action scenes and very well written combat. The political stakes and tension are also built up beautifully and the payoff is so satisfying, I loved all of the events that went down in the book – everything felt purposeful and hit with maximal emotional impact.

The full circle nature of the story, especially towards the end was masterfully done and incredibly emotional. I can’t believe I have to say goodbye to these characters forever :’) (well until my next reread lol). The Green Bone saga will forever be one of my favourite series and I’m so thankful I got to experience this incredible series and spend time with the Kauls and would sincerely recommend everyone read this amazing series.

so that was one hell of a journey. this book was a masterpiece, and if I could rate it 10 out of 5 stars i would. once again, fonda lee has created a beautiful story with intricate details and realistic storylines. if you think jade war was emotionally draining, your soul is going to be empty by the time you finish jade legacy. it’s three hours since i finished and i still cry everytime i think of this book. fonda j lee you are sick and twisted and i demand financial compensation for what this book has done to my mental health.

Jade Legacy, the finale of the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee came with a lot of expectations. I am happy to report that it no only lived upto those expectations but went a few dozen steps further to cement itself in th category of greatest of all finales. If my eyes weren’t streaming with tears my brain was exploding at the twists and turns in this incredible fantasy gangster family saga. To say I was mindblown by this book would be an understatement. The plot was so tightly woven with multiple dots moving in a hundred different directions spanning cities, countries and continents, brought together expertly to create a tapestry of sheer fictional brilliance. The political interplay and the economical scheming made this book a thrilling page turner which had me sacrificing my sleep altogether. But the best part about this book and this series are the characters. All of them from the Kaul family to the Mountain Clan up till the most minor characters were written with such care that they refuse to give up space from my brain and my heart. The outstanding character development has propelled this series into the top of my all time favourites list.
Take a bow Fonda Lee for crafting such an incredible fantasy series. I am in awe of your talent. Please please please add this series immediately to your tbrs. I promise that it will be the highlight of your reading year.

ARC provided by the publisher—Orbit—in exchange for an honest review.

Without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best books I’ve ever read. Jade Legacy is an all-around masterpiece that certified The Green Bone Saga as my top favorite completed trilogy of all time.

“Good men are remembered with love by their friends… Great warriors are remembered with awe by their enemies.”

This review won’t do this book justice. Lee must’ve channeled—she must be a true Green Bone warrior—real magic to finish writing this ambitious concluding installment. Jade City and Jade War are some of the best books to exist in modern fantasy. I loved them so much, and my love for the previous two books in the series skyrocketed my anticipation and expectations for Jade Legacy. High expectation isn’t a healthy mindset to adapt as it tends to lead to disappointment. But occasionally, a special book can meet—and even exceed—those expectations. Jade Legacy is that kind of special book. Jade Legacy is unbelievably better than the previous—already superb—two books, and it’s a novel that’s equally traumatizing but more superior to the legendary A Storm of Swords by George R. R. Martin. There, I’ve said it. Tragic, soul-crushing, but also hopeful and filled with love. Enrich and break your soul; read this trilogy to its conclusion as soon as possible. If that’s still not enough to convince you, proceed to read my feeble attempt to write a review for this masterwork.

“When something has to be done, there’s always a way to do it.”

If you’ve followed Fonda Lee’s or Orbit’s social media, you should know by now that one of the reasons why Jade Legacy is an ambitious undertaking is due to the time span the plot requires. The story in Jade Legacy begins a few months after the end of Jade War, and the entirety of it spans more than two decades and multiple time skips. This is not an easy feat to do. The final book of a series usually doesn’t do this; it’s unconventional, and multiple time skips mean we—as readers—don’t get to read many events that the characters experienced. In some worse cases, they make the story feel disjointed, and they could end up halting organic character development. But rest assured, none of these applied to Jade Legacy. The multiple time skips give such an epic feel to the narrative. Plus, Lee always managed to fill in these gaps with crucial and necessary information at a terrifying efficiency and effectiveness. It’s insane. It’s nothing short of miraculous, and it worked. It bloody worked.

“Everything is a battle now… Every business, every town, every newspaper article or press conference or godsdamned vote in the Royal Council… There used to be a way things were done, under the eyes of Old Uncle. We used to be able to count on certain things. Now there aren’t any lines. Everyone in the clan is a part of the fight.”

The multiple time skips allowed Lee to tell a meticulously crafted novel that’s divided into four unforgettable parts. A story arc division isn’t something special; a lot of speculative fictions novel have done this. There’s, however, something different and impressive about each story part in Jade Legacy; every one of them felt like a novel on its own. Reading Jade Legacy is equivalent to reading a tetralogy. I’m serious. The first quarter of this book already made me feel like I went through an entire fantasy novel worth of reading; so many of my emotions were bled for these characters already. I’ve read plenty of trilogies with lesser emotional weight compared to the first quarter of this book, and I do honestly think the first quarter of Jade Legacy was already better than many trilogies I’ve read. It is THAT good, and it constantly gets more heart-wrenching, intense, and scintillating.

“No matter which part of the country you’re from, which clan you swear allegiance to, whether you wear jade or not, we are all Kekonese. We defend and avenge our own. You wrong any of us, you wrong us all. You seek to war with us, and we will return it a hundredfold.”

This means every act in Jade Legacy has a magnificent beginning, build-up, and climax sequence. The scope of the storyline is much bigger than its predecessors; reading this book made me feel like my heart went through an internal natural disaster multiple times. Yes, this book is an emotional bloodbath. In this heartrending story filled with themes about family, reconciliation, trust, legacy, sacrifice, power, money, and war, I‘ve shockingly let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding, and I’ve sagged like a melting potato. When the characters watched the news with dread, when they grieved, I felt all of that. Lee’s capability to shift a peaceful situation to a catastrophic event in a flash is just impeccable. And at the core of all its greatness, what elevated Jade Legacy to a masterpiece status was the extremely well-realized characters and characterizations.

“We don’t handle this world. We make it handle us.”

Personally speaking, with all my heart and confidence, I’m going to say that Kaul Hiloshudon has become one of my favorite characters of all time. Fonda Lee has done such an outstanding job in creating and building Hilo’s tremendous character development. If you’ve followed my reviews for years, you might know that Kaladin Stormblessed from The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson is one of my favorite protagonists of all time. Hilo, to me, is on that same level as Kaladin. Hilo is not perfect; he’s flawed in many ways, but he’s also passionate, inspiring, and despite his flaws and temperament, he always tries his best to become a better version of himself.

“It was Kaul Hilo’s great talent. He could have a single ordinary conversation with a man and make him loyal for life.”

Well, I didn’t have a single ordinary conversation with him; it felt like I’ve known him for years through reading this trilogy. And I know it’s not fair of me to mention only Hilo. This masterful level of characterizations was applied to MANY other characters in the trilogy. The Green Bone Saga is an epic urban fantasy. It’s a gangster family saga featuring a LOT of key characters; Jade Legacy has more than ten POV characters, and whether they appeared briefly or not, every one of them has an undeniably distinct voice and characterizations. I’m not kidding; the characterizations in Jade Legacy is an absolute marvel. It’s definite that Lee understands her characters inside and outside.

“We’ve both hurt each other because we were both too stubborn about what we expected, and we paid badly for that. But what’s the point of life if we give up on the people we love?”

Hilo aside, there were more than ten characters in this trilogy that I would consider as my favorite characters as well. Whether it’s out of love, belief, or personal reasons, the conflicts and clash of ideals felt believable. And they all made mistakes; sometimes, my favorite characters—Hilo included—made decisions I don’t agree with, and that’s okay. I don’t have to agree with everything my favorite characters do to love them. The contrast in their virtues and flaws just made them more genuine and authentic as a character. If you can’t tell by now, the characters in The Green Bone Saga are real to me, and I feel like I’ve really known them and their personality. Understanding, forgiveness, loyalty, overcoming weaknesses are all integral in the development of these characters. The love, hatred, admiration the characters have for their loved or hated ones felt palpable; I wish I could elaborate and tell you what made each character—one by one—in this series so compelling. But it would make this review longer than it already is, and I risk the possibility of this review going beyond the allowed word count on Goodreads.

“We all make mistakes. Sometimes terrible mistakes we can barely live with. But we learn from them. And maybe… Maybe we can forgive each other.”

I can, however, tell you one essential element that Lee employed to heighten the tension and stakes of the series: the character’s actions—from the previous books and this book—have consequences. Actions and decisions in this series matter. This is something that Fonda Lee emphasized in the narrative, and she wields it like a clean blade to incite incredible effect. Repercussions from the events of Jade City and Jade War were monumental; the chain of events build-up were terrific, and pivotal—or relatively small—decisions often result in permanent consequences. One out of many examples, I never expected a few nobodies from the first book would become some of the most memorable supporting characters here. Not only Lee isn’t afraid to kill off or damage her characters brutally, but the powerful emotional investment I have with the characters of the trilogy also enhanced the dangers in the narrative even further. The characters in Jade Legacy suffered a LOT. And before we get to reach the peerless finale, we’re guaranteed to suffer together with them first.

“Perhaps that was the great tragedy of jade warriors and their families. Even when we win, we suffer.”

It’s easy to praise Lee’s vivid and savage battle scenes; she’s one of the best combat scenes writers in the genre. Since Jade City, the hard magic system revolved around jade rely on six abilities: Deflection, Perception, Lightness, Channeling, Strength, Steel. And these abilities never get old. It’s amazing what Lee can do with these six abilities by adding martial arts, guns, cars, airships, and explosives to it. Every tempestuous violence in Jade Legacy always felt refreshing, pulse-pounding, and cinematic. This is one of a few fantasy series that could work wonderfully adapted as manga, anime, video games, TV shows, or movies; take your pick. So yes, her prose when it comes to the art of descending violence was extraordinary as always. But I need to highlight one more thing that Lee excels at, the dialogues. The quality of Lee’s expertise in dialogues is incalculable.

“At times, when faced with difficult decisions, he would think back to the duel that had dramatically earned him his jade and reputation, and he would remind himself that sometimes the most obvious solution required only the willingness to take the most unreasonable of actions.”

Similar to the heart-pounding battle scenes, the conversations between characters frequently have stakes, murderous intent, or emotional weight imbued into them. Negotiations always felt perilous; instant oblivion waits for them at all times. Blood must be paid with blood, and one wrong word or sentence uttered could invite immediate ruin. This is Lee’s design for devastating conflicts: supercharged battle scenes and dialogues. I totally loved reading Lee’s prose; they all flow so smoothly to me. The pacing was unputdownable, the plotline and actions were breathtaking, the world-building was intricate, and the character’s arc was so immensely rewarding. I’ve shared a lot of quotes in this review, and I wish I could share more of these gems with you because I’ve actually highlighted 48 passages. But I can’t due to spoilers. You should read the book as soon as possible and find out for yourself. Do it!

“The mind cannot adjust quickly to a fundamental change in reality without breaking. If the moon vanished from the sky, people would not believe it; they would think it was a trick of light or clouds.”

I loved The Green Bone Saga so much that I reread both Jade City and Jade War first before I dive into Jade Legacy; as much as I want to, rereading isn’t something that I often do due to my infinite TBR pile. And it was so worth it; I know I’ll reread this divine trilogy over and over again. The ending stunned me completely; I sat and stared at an empty wall for hours. Fonda Lee’s exceptional achievement in creating Jade Legacy—and the entire trilogy—earn her a spot in the pantheon of fantasy greats with a commanding finality. I’ll give Jade Legacy 6 out of 5 stars if I could. I’ve read more than 500 fantasy books in my life, and Jade Legacy belongs in my top 10 books of all time. The words Lee crafted in The Green Bone Saga pierced through every armor in my heart with ease; my eyes turned glassy four times reading this superlative culmination. Jade Legacy is a supremely stunning and page-turning masterpiece, a novel that’s too good to be true but ended up being a reality. The Green Bone Saga has become my number one favorite completed trilogy of all time. No, you’re not reading that wrong; it’s at the number one spot. This urban epic fantasy has successfully dethroned my beloved Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson and The Licanius Trilogy by James Islington.

Thank you so much, Fonda Lee. You have my utmost gratitude for writing this series. I’m a clan loyalist for life. The clan is my blood, and the Pillar is its master. Under the eyes of all the gods in Heaven, I pledge this. On my honor, my life, and my jade.

“And here we are. So many good things have happened since then, and also so many terrible things that it’s hard to be afraid of anything anymore. Whatever’s going to happen will happen, so the most important thing is that we appreciate what we have and the people we care about.”
