What did I just read?! This book out me through the ringer and I had SO MANY EMOTIONS. You KNOW a book is good and the stakes are high when I binged the last 170 pages in a day.
Like the first, this book isn't going to be for everyone. There's a lot of planning, a lot of political talk, and, particulalry in this book compared to the first, there's a lot of focus on the characters and the decisions they need to make. But, in saying this, this book was for me.
I loved the intricacy of the world and how Fonda Lee was so detailed in the dynamics and interactions between the characters and the countries, it felt so real and I loved learning all the details. The characters were so complex and I had so many emotions over them, both positive and negative. I loved how Fonda Lee had me angry over what the characters were doing one moment and then sobbing for them the next.
This book was a wild ride and I cannot wait to jump into Jade Legacy as soon as possible!
