My love for this series and it's cast of characters came back in full force reading this collection. It made me really want to reread the whole series. It didn't scratch the same itch, however, and the quality of the stories really fluctuated. I really liked Fonda Lee's commentary between each story as it gives us an insight of her writing process and how deeply she cares about these characters.

Fonda admits that she basically got to use these short stories to fully indulge herself in the Jade universe as a last farewell, and you can tell from the joy with which they're written, and who they choose to focus on (Hilo and Wenruxian's courtship, Shae, Ayt Mada). It was fun to read through this and get to see Lee's joy in writing what is essentially fanfiction for her own series. If you want one last bit of the Green Bone Saga, pick this up as a dessert.
screaming crying throwing up….. i’ll never have enough of this universe and this characters please break me some more
