I'm honestly struggling to find the right words to convey my love for this trilogy. I went through the stages of grief with this book repeatedly, but I would read this series again without hesitation.
Jade Legacy is a heart-wrenching, emotional, gripping conclusion to the Green Bone Saga.
Much of my thoughts from Jade War can be carried over to this book but tenfold, so I won't repeat myself and I also don't want to spoil it for those who haven't read this series yet.
Fonda Lee is a masterfully cruel writer. I had to take long breaks in between chapters to process events, but even then I found myself going to sleep thinking about these characters.
I cried. I smiled. I cried some more. I got anxious and scared. I laughed. I hoped. I sobbed uncontrollably by the end.

Jade Legacy is a story about love, family, life, and death, but most of all it's about promise, hope, and legacy.
Though this book absolutely wrecked me, it was such a compelling finale. I am eternally grateful to Fonda Lee for writing this masterpiece and for bringing these characters into my life. If you read this trilogy, please let me know what you think!

This is quite possibly the best series end book I've read. Fonda is a true master of political intrigue and character development. I was sobbing. I am in awe. It's worth every one of the 700 pages.

Well, 2022 was the year I finally read the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee, andโhaving now come out the other side of 'Jade Legacy' with my heart relatively in tactโI'm happy to report it was one of the most thrilling, satisfying, ambitious, epic and unique fantasy stories I've ever read in my entire life. It's not really a trilogy so much as one enormous book split into three parts, and I think that's worth bearing in mind if you find yourself slogging a bit through some of the info-dumps in 'Jade City'. A contemporary-feeling high urban fantasy that encompasses literally โจdecadesโจ of time across multiple generations around an entire fictional globe, featuring a myriad of cultures, customs and creeds... Cor blimy, Fonda Lee doesn't like doing things by halves, does she?! From the gang-ridden streets of 'Jade City' all the way up to the geopolitical family melodrama of 'Jade Legacy', the Green Bone Saga had me by the throat even days after finishing. I fear it still does. Reader, I've left my heart in Janloon.
