Kaul Shae, Jade City/Jade War era. Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee.

Day 3 of “I can’t get this series out my head so might as well draw my way through the obsession.”

I get a very 80svibe from the early series, Shae walking into a high powered “man’s” role would definitely power shoulderpad it up…

TBR TAKEDOWN: GOODREADS, WEEK 13a

Jade City (Green Bone Saga #1) by Fonda Lee

I'm trying to trim down my tbr list(s) and I'm asking for your help! Descriptions and more info under the cut. Please reblog and add your thoughts!

* * * *

In this epic saga of magic and kungfu, four siblings battle rival clans for honor and power in an Asia-inspired fantasy metropolis.

Jade is the lifeblood of the island of Kekon. It has been mined, traded, stolen, and killed for -- and for centuries, honorable Green Bone warriors like the Kaul family have used it to enhance their magical abilities and defend the island from foreign invasion.

Now, the war is over and a new generation of Kauls vies for control of Kekon's bustling capital city. They care about nothing but protecting their own, cornering the jade market, and defending the districts under their protection. Ancient tradition has little place in this rapidly changing nation.

When a powerful new drug emerges that lets anyone -- even foreigners -- wield jade, the simmering tension between the Kauls and the rival Ayt family erupts into open violence. The outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all Green Bones -- from their grandest patriarch to the lowliest motorcycle runner on the streets -- and of Kekon itself.

Jade City is the first novel in an epic trilogy about family, honor, and those who live and die by the ancient laws of blood and jade.

Date added: 2018

Goodreads: 4.08

Storygraph: 4.14

PRO:

Popular book, well rated, many awards!

Entire series is available from the library in my preferred format (audiobook)

CON:

Really not feeling interested in magic crime families OR in them fighting.

I think I saw someone describe this as having more of an urban-fantasy feel (and also that the fantasy elements are somewhat minimal), which is also not my thing.
