Jade Shards by Fonda Lee

This was fine. The witch and her friend was most interesting to me. I also wanted more Wen outside of Hilo. I loved her character from the beginning of the trilogy, but hate how much of an accessory she was to Hilo tbh. She finally does something for herself

and her husband cheats on her and verbally abuses her… but she never stops being loyal to him. Her betrayal of Hilo was one of my favorite parts of her character story. She was protecting her family as any Green Bone would. Hilo and Wen’s relationship is too traditional and toxic to be made into a cute romantasy idk.
