On the island nation of Kekon, jade is the most important,
valuable substance that everyone wants. And not for an unimportant reason
either- jade from Kekon enhances the abilities of people and gives them magical
powers. However, this jade is not available to anyone. One must have the
genetics and training that let them withstand jade cravings. When tension
between two clans of jade warriors rises, the Kauls of the No Peak clan must
unite and do all they can so they do not lose some of their own. The new No
Peak leaders are young and inexperienced and the odds are against them, but
they must do their best to protect their blood and jade.
I really enjoyed this novel. I've read and loved novels
written by Fonda Lee before, and I was not let down by this book. It had a
great backstory of the island of Kekon, and the characters were realistic and
developed throughout the novel really nicely. The action and description of
jade magic was very interesting and exciting to read about. Readers of the
author's other books and people who enjoy action-adventure novels with
complicated characters would love Jade city. I would definitely recommend this
novel to others, as it is a great, suspenseful read.
