In Jade War, the sequel to the World Fantasy Award-winning novel Jade City, the Kaul siblings battle rival clans for honor and control over an Asia-inspired fantasy metropolis.

On the island of Kekon, the Kaul family is locked in a violent feud for control of the capital city and the supply of magical jade that endows trained Green Bone warriors with supernatural powers they alone have possessed for hundreds of years.

Beyond Kekon's borders, war is brewing. Powerful foreign governments and mercenary criminal kingpins alike turn their eyes on the island nation. Jade, Kekon's most prized resource, could make them rich - or give them the edge they'd need to topple their rivals.

Faced with threats on all sides, the Kaul family is forced to form new and dangerous alliances, confront enemies in the darkest streets and the tallest office towers, and put honor aside in order to do whatever it takes to ensure their own survival - and that of all the Green Bones of Kekon.

Jade War is the second book of the Green Bone Saga, an epic trilogy about family, honor, and those who live and die by the ancient laws of blood and jade.

Book Club Discussion Jade City - Discussion Part 1

3 Upvotes

We're currently reading Jade City by Fonda Lee for August's book of the month, and this discussion will be on the first half of the book.

Please only discuss the first half of the book. This will be everything up to the end of Chapter 28. This is page 233 in the softcover edition. Please try to avoid any discussion of Chapter 29 (Title of the chapter is "You'll Probably Die") forward.

Anything in the second half of the book will be considered spoilers and must be tagged as such.

Remember that even saying something like "you'll find that out soon enough" is considered a spoiler, so if you aren't sure if it's a spoiler - use spoiler tags to be safe!

I'll post some questions to go along with the reading but feel free to comment about anything else or start your own comment thread on anything you found interesting or any questions that you had.

  • What do you think about Lan and Hilo and their contrasting leadership styles? How do you think both of their insecurities have affected their decisions so far?
  • What are your thoughts on Shae and her reluctance to embrace being a Green Bone? Any thoughts on what her character might end up doing?
  • Where do you think the conflict between No Peak and the Mountain is going? Who do you feel has made good (or bad) decisions regarding the conflict?
  • What are your thoughts on Jade and the power it brings and attracts? What about how intertwined it is in the economy and culture of Kekon as they struggle with modern society and mixing of other cultures as well?
  • Are you liking the book so far? Do you plan on finishing it?

Author Promotion The Seven - my first book about adventure and found family

0 Upvotes

"White snow fell from the sky; black smoke rose from the earth.

The city was called Kovachi. The Smiths."

Four strangers collide there. A runaway scholar fleeing the organisation that decides what the whole world gets taught. A masked warrior who hides her name behind a lie. A huntress raised by wolves who remembers a forest that no longer exists and nothing before it. And a dragonborn fugitive whose jokes arrive faster than his fireballs.

They step into the same fight over a child a cult is trying to take, and walk out bound to each other:

THE SEVEN — standalone epic fantasy, 85,000 words, four illustrations by Boris Stoyanov. Found family, hungry cults, and one very flammable city.

Out today. $2.99, or free in Kindle Unlimited. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H8YDT3GJ

Book Suggestions Hii any books similar to Fairy oak?

2 Upvotes

I loved this book series as a kid, i used to bring them around and read it when I was left alone, I remember that I once escaped from a lesson in a parish youth club (I hated it) and I ran on the second floor (where you couldn't go, it was a big no, so lol) and hid in a empty class, oh I felt so intrigued by these books qajcjbeb so anything similar to them? I got suggested Harry Potter but nope, I have my mom's books if I want to read HP but I don't think it's going to give me the same vibes or emotions of fairy oak, so a fantasy ya?
