    Cover of Jade War

    Jade War

    Fonda Lee · 2019

    On the island of Kekon, the Kaul family is locked in a violent feud for control of the capital city and the supply of magical jade that endows trained Green Bone warriors with supernatural powers they alone have possessed for hundreds of years. Beyond Kekon's borders, war is brewing. Powerful foreign governments and mercenary criminal kingpins alike turn their eyes on the island nation. Jade, Kekon's most prized resource, could make them rich—or give them the edge they'd need to topple their rivals. Faced with threats on all sides, the Kaul family is forced to form new and dangerous alliances, confront enemies in the darkest streets and the tallest office towers, and put honor aside in order to do whatever it takes to ensure their own survival—and that of all the Green Bones of Kekon.

      In the fiction category I thouroughly enjoyed the "Green Bone Saga" by Fonda Lee:

        - Jade City
        - Jade War
        - Jade Legacy
      
      The story sits somewhere between Asian mafia clan drama, crime and magical fantasy. They were the kind of books where I buy both audio and paperback to keep reading wherever possible..

      I read about 60-70 books per year, predominantly fiction. I'm currently halfway through _Jade War_ by Fonda Lee, and after that I'll read the third book in that series. Up next would be either Joe Abercrombie's _First Law_ series or maybe pick up the second book in Josiah Bancroft's _Babel_ series.

      My TBR pile is about 140 books long at this point, so I don't think I'll run out of things to read. :)
