I'm sitting here trying to come up with words for how I feel about Jade Legacy and the Greenbone Saga as a whole in one swoop.

So, I guess let's start off with the basics. Jade Legacy spans about 25+ years of the characters' lives you've come to know over the first two books. Introducing the new generation and showing them come into their own. This book relies heavily on politics and not as much as action as the first book, but if you're into politics while following the actions and consequences of the characters then this book is for you. I'd definitely say this book is 90% politics and characters and 10% action, a lot different than the first book.

I commend Lee for spanning a multi-generational family, weaving in lore and history of Kekon during interludes, the characters' development, and the fact that every character in this series is truly morally-grey through out the whole thing. Lee discusses so many topics, that its hard to put into words everything she wrote about relating to foreign relations, proxy wars, militaries, politics, let alone the personal matters of the characters' like living up to the old generation, doing things for the betterment of others, creating families, losing loved ones, finding yourself, staying with tradition or breaking from it. Just so much can be spoken about this series and I think that's why the Greenbone Saga will be a hard one to forget for anyone that has read it.

With out a shadow of doubt, I would recommend this series. If you have not experienced it yet, please do.
