Even more obsessed with this one. We follow the clans as they navigate the constant shift in power plays, alll of our fav characters were more fleshed out. I loved each storyline and journey each character had. Shae is so strong😭, and Wen has become my favorite. Not only was No peak waring with The Mountain but other groups in other countries. Such a wild ride, off to Jade Legacy.

Definitely no punches pulled from this book. Fonda gets a little more ambitious with this one by not only expanding the world from just an island to an entire world full of continents, she throws in more characters which comes with even more drama!

The Mountain clan have seemingly put a pause on their beef No Peak, but that doesn’t mean they’re not plotting and making political and economical moves behind the scenes.

I thoroughly enjoyed this sequel but my only issue is with Anden. I very much understand that he his gay from the first book so there was no need to keep bringing it up and instead build on his other qualities. In this book she doubles down on it and every single time he appears in the book it’s making references to him being gay or having sex. Like WE KNOW! He likes butt stuff! Now is there any other quality that this guy has that’s actually relevant to his character? He seems to be a very powerful character that I am sure will be expanded upon in the next book so fingers crossed
