5.0

This final book in the Green Bone Saga is quite the feather in the cap. It takes place across multiple decades, showing our characters age and come into their fates, making choices that put them at odds with each other, showing long time plans come to fruition and falter. I particularly like how this final instalment shows the begrudging respect between rival clan members and how military industrial complex and international governments impact Kekon. I can’t recommend this series enough

This is a fantasy infused gang families rivalry epic. There is Jade withdrawal and overexposure in this fantasy series that’s depicted very much like drug detoxification. There is abundant violence with varying motivations and levels which include varying levels of abuse. Various societal prejudices also exist at points in the decades depicted across this final novel. I’m sure I probably forgot some things but be aware there are extreme swings regarding content. Be aware, that’s all.
