A profound high fantasy experience. This is definitely within the realm of one of my top 3 books this year.
On an island where Jade holds power- strengthening those who have lineal blood to tolerate wearing it- chaos brews between two ancient clans on the island of Kekon.
A tale of family, loyalty, honor, and power- Jade City creates an immersive world narrated by multiple perspectives. Diving straight into the action from the first chapter, I was mesmerized every time I stepped back into these pages. There’s moments that I felt I was watching an anime during the fight scenes, and I’ve never had an experience quite like I did this with any other book.
If you love high fantasy with gems and metals containing magical properties, tests of loyalty, piecing together a puzzle throughout a story, a multi POV where you’re eagerly anticipating insight from every single character… this one is for the high stakes fantasy lovers. I can’t wait to continue on with this trilogy.
