If you like gang politics and cool action, but you’re tired of everything being done with guns, do I have a book for you! (Sadly, there are still guns, but the combat is very interesting). Jade City takes a while to get going, but once it does, you’re on a nonstop rollercoaster ride to the end. I LOVED the character work in this book- the individual development plotlines combined with the politics makes for a fantastic read. Each character is very unique. I did think there were a few too many times where the book launched into a paragraph or so of worldbuilding that could kill the pacing for me. However, Lee does a great job of building tension until the ignition of the conflict- trust the book will get there and it will blow you away. I left this book thinking “god DAMN what a strong ending”, and I’m eager to start Jade War soon.
