What I’m Reading Now

Hello Friends. Right now, I’m reading a book called Jade Legacy by Fonda Lee. It’s the last book in The Green Bone Saga trilogy, and I have to tell you, it’s absolutely awesome. The three books in the trilogy are as follows:

Jade City
Jade War
Jade Legacy

This series is a fantasy, but it’s unlike any fantasy you’ve read before. Even though it’s not specifically stated, it’s an Asian fantasy. There are no kings, swords, or dragons. Rather, the book centers around clans that run the mythical city of Janloon, on the island of Kekon.

It is a story that is almost equivalent to modern times, circa 1950. They have air travel, modern cars, and a host of other things that deviates from many of the fantasy books we’re used to. So why is it a fantasy?

The warriors in the clans use a bio-energetic form of jade that when worn on the body, it transforms the wearer into a kind of superhuman fighter.

The characters in these books are phenomenal and you can’t stop reading to find out what’s going to happen to them next. Once I finish the trilogy, I will write a full review on the series.

If you want to get a jump on it, however, go ahead and start reading. This is another series I highly recommend. Until next time…
