A fitting end to the Green Bone Saga. I can really appreciate the story that Fonda Lee put together over the course of three books. I didn't care for Jade City as much as I do now because I read all three books. Wow. What a ride. In Jade Legacy we cover the Kauls journey over the next 30 years. We see the family grow in several ways as well as watch each member grow over the course of the book. The decisions made in Jade War have far reaching impacts throughout this book that have both positive and negative implications. There is so much that happens, but the time jumps really flesh out the things. One character's growth I have really appreciated is Hilo. By the end of this book, you see that whatever his flaws, his main concern was always protecting those he deemed as family whether that was the clan, the Maiks, or his actual family. Ayt Mada continues to be one of the coldest villains I have come across in any media form. Conniving, intelligent, deadly. I loved her portrayal throughout the series. It's a fitting end to the Kaul story. The time I spent in this world was well worth it.
