“On my honor, my life , and my Jade”. Yaassss baby 🙌🏿😆! Okay let me collect myself! Jade City by Fonda Lee is the first book in the Green Bone saga. Jade City is set in Janloon, the capital city of Kekon. Jade is mostly mined and traded in Kekon. There are two clans – No Peak, run by the Kaul family, and Mountain, run by the Ayt family. There is a rivalry between these clans and both are on the brink of war with each other . The the magic system is so unique in this novel. People who use jade gain heightened abilities; speed, strength, and perceptions of people’s auras. However, the Kekonese are the only people that safely use jade. The Green Bone can use jade after proper training at the academy, and even then they must build up a tolerance to it. Some people are immune to jade completely and therefore are able to mine it and handle it safely. However , there are others who are not immune, and if they come into contact with jade they get a taste for it’s powers and instantly become addicted. They have an insatiable need to have jade and that need slowly drives them insane. There are more than a few POVs but the main ones are of the No Peak clan, the Kaul family - Lan( Pillar, leader of the family ), Hilo (Horn- fighter;leader of the fist), Shae (sister to Lan and Hilo and so much more 😁), and their cousin, Anden who is in the academy, training to be a greenbone. There are many layers to this story and magic system so I’m going to stop here out of fear that I will say wayyy too much! Fonda Lee did her thing with Jade City y’all ! I’m totally invested, I have my favorites and definitely some characters that I loathe, so now I must find out what happens in Jade War (second book in the saga). I feel like I may suffer in the end but I know it’s gonna be worth it 😁.
