5/8/2023 0 Comments Jade city by fonda leeNaturally, jade is the key to power in Janloon and the No Peak clan and its rival, the Mountain, exist in a mutally beneficial detente, controlling jade production and patrolling the city with their jade-wearing Green Bone Warriors. Only those with extensive training (and good genes) can handle wearing jade without descending into madness. Jade has always been valuable in our world, but in Lee’s it can give you superpowers… or it can kill you. As the head of No Peak, Lan controls half of the jade production on the island of Kekon and controls half of the city of Janloon. If there’s increasing unrest in the streets… well, that’s nothing that Lan, the Pillar of the No Peak clan, can’t handle. If there’s a black market jade carver that’s been murdered, that happens. In the city of Janloon, everything is fine. I was interested to see if it lived up to the buzz and I am happy to report that it did. JADE CITY by Fonda Lee has been nominated (and won) a number of awards in the past year.
