Jade War was almost as good as Jade City. I found parts of the book to be suffering slightly from middle-book syndrome because they're setting up things either later in the book or for Jade Legacy I'm assuming. BUT the last third of the book was pretty much non-stop and I read until about 2 am one night to finish the book, so I still obviously really was into it. As with Jade City, I wish we had more time with certain characters - I really want more from Anden and Shae - but I wouldn't want the pacing to suffer from it. Overall, super stoked to pick up Jade Legacy!

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Andrew Kishino and very much enjoyed it!
