A review by porgyreads
Jade Legacy by Fonda Lee

5.0

The way I knewwww it had to end in the way it did but didn’t deep how much each character would fight till the bitter end. Fonda Lee’s incorporation of soft power in this book? Her mind is massive. The progressing social-political landscape of Kekon was just as riveting to me as the characters and the writing. That strategist experience in the CV was working overtime. Shed a few tears for the Kaul family (not even going to say who because it’s not fair and I’m in denial) loved the depictions of masculinity and it’s ties to power esp alongside such nuanced depictions of femininity enduring in a masculine environment. Ayt Mada aka one of the best villains in a fantasy series ever. Genuinely don’t think I’ve read such a robust trilogy of books apart from the Daevabad trilogy: it started strong and got stronger because all it’s characters did the same.
