Critics Review
Lee’s astute worldbuilding raises the stakes for her vivid and tautly-described action scenes
A sharp and insightful new voiceOMG. Take my money. I have loved everything Fonda Lee has written and this new book has me salivatingFonda Lee’s stories do not pull their punches. They resonate with hard hits and fast revelations. At the same time, the bigger picture is always in view, and Lee’s stories are firmly in the realm of deeply introspective, fast moving tales that will stay with the reader long after the book is doneStylish and action-packed, full of ambitious families and guilt-ridden loves, Jade City is an epic drama reminiscent of the best classic Hong Kong gangster films but takes place in a fantasy metropolis so gritty and well-imagined that you’ll forget you’re reading a bookAbout The Author
