Jade Shards is just perfection for any Green Bone fan! In the introduction, Lee writes: "At times during the writing I felt as much as a family biographer as a novelist." And these short stories definitely feel like a personal look at some of our favorite characters and the events that shaped them. I think my favorite story was Not Only Blood, but Better than Jade was a close second for me, because they deal with such personal events and feelings. It's very bittersweet that this is likely the end of the Greenbone stories, but this was such a lovely read and I'm looking forward to my next reread of GBS having read Jade Shards.
