📚My Review📚
The first half of the book was an intense build-up that left me on the edge of my seat -- something big was going to happen, but I didn’t know what. And wanting to know kept my interest. The mixture of magic of Jad, origin story of Jade, and the history of the Clans-- No Peak & The Mountain was present strategically throughout.
The No Peak Family dynamics was relatable. The eldest being the most serious, the middle " the wild child "& the last child getting way with it all. I love the relationship between Kauls-- Lan, Shae, and Hilo, which had a balanced sibling relationship. Each silbling had a very distinct presentation on the page and showcased how interaction with the grandfather impacted them personally. I truly felt for Hilo-- he didn't deserve the ire from his grandfather. Shae was one of those characters who surprised me-- she is a fighter and strategist. Lan, he was the glue who held them together. especially how they loved and adopted Anden Emery.
☠️The villains
●Bero-- this man has the God's on his side. Cause the way that man is gunning for some Jade is crack head level.
● Ayt Mada, the Pillar of The Mountain Clan, I respect how she came into power. She did what she needed to do-- making her the 1st female pillar!
❤️What I love and
● The female characters ( Wen Maik, Shae, and Ayt Mada)
●The history of Uncle Jenshu and the story of the Return
●The Fighting scene
● Hilo given the 🍆 like a G and Wen Maik taking it like a champ
●How Jade was present on each Greenbone warrior.
The mixture of love, betrayal, death, fear, and power was done well. I am still shocked by all that has happened. I am looking forward to reading Jade War!
