Fonda Lee's Jade City
This is an interesting start to a series, and I’m ready to dive into the next one for sure. It’s an Asian-influenced fantasy gangster sort of story, centered on the siblings of one of the country's powerful ruling crime families, as they deal with their plotting rivals and their own personal issues. I found all these characters compelling and the story definitely took some turns I wasn’t expecting. There are some interesting hints about pressure from foreign allies/adversaries and other political machinations. I didn’t love the end of this particular volume but I am still excited to see where things go next, B+.
