Jade War took every factor of importance firmly established in the first book into account and Lee expanded upon them deftly. The official blurb on Goodreads and Amazon did a wonderful job of explaining the premise without spoiling any of the main events read those if you want to know more about the general plot. The story in Jade War takes place sixteen months after the end of Jade City. The fantasy genre needs more urban high fantasy as refreshing and great as this series. Again, Jade War was unbelievably better than the first book. Jade War topped all the stunning quality in Jade City, which has won many readers’ hearts and the World Fantasy Award trophy last year.

It’s satisfying and astonishing that Lee was able to successfully create a sequel as good as this.

I read this novel with four other readers of different ethnicity-TS, Emma, Jenia, and Nils-living in different parts of the world, and all of us pretty much agreed that we were in love with-and terrified by-the events in Jade War.
