What a treat to revisit this world and see beloved characters again. A great little addition to the series.

"i’m only a humble jade setter, but i’m content with the last thing i was able to fix."

yup, i cried. this was the perfect short story to read after jade legacy. i missed janloon and fonda lee’s writing SO MUCH. i don’t think i’ll ever get enough of this world.

A well constructed novella even if the main character did have the resolution to the mystery kind of handed to him. It was great to have a story from characters of lower status. The main series characters that make cameos here appear in a new light because of it and it was a ton of fun to read about Janloon again.

Now I want to go back and reread the green bone saga. This novella was just perfection.
