Craig’s Top Reads of 2024

December 31, 2024 by Craigbookwyrm Leave a Comment

It’s the end of the year as we know it (and I feel full of cheese and chocolate). 2024 has been an extremely good reading year for me, and with so many highlights it’s made this post very difficult to narrow down. So I’m going to do something a little different and break it up […]

Review: Jade Legacy (Green Bone Saga #3) by Fonda Lee

February 16, 2022 by Jared Besse Leave a Comment

Endings are a tricky thing. A good ending can reframe an entire story or bring home the points that an author was making. A bad ending can sour the experience of a whole series or story. Thankfully, Jade Legacy, the third and final book in the Green Bone Saga, is a smashingly good ending.

Review: Jade Legacy (Green Bone Saga #3) by Fonda Lee

February 8, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

Jade War is the third and final release in Fonda Lee’s Green Bone Saga series (I previously reviewed books 1 and 2 here and here). Considering the events of first two books in the series, I had high hopes for this finale, but I was also a little trepidatious about where the final storylines were going to end up. Read on to find out what I thought of the ending.

Review: Jade War (Green Bone Saga #2) by Fonda Lee

February 1, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

Jade War is the sequel to Jade City and the second book in Fonda Lee’s Green Bone Saga series. I was so happy after reading book 1 that I could not wait to read book 2, and I dove right in. As expected, Jade War lives up to the expectations created by the greatness of Jade City.

Review: Jade City (The Green Bone Saga #1) by Fonda Lee

January 28, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

Jade City is the first book in Fonda Lee’s critically-acclaimed Green Bone Saga series, and… wait, what was that? I am three years late getting to it, you say? Yes, that is true, and let me tell you: no one regrets waiting to read this series more than I do. I wish I had read it earlier, because, not only do I love it, but it is clearly one of the best fantasy books of the last 5 years.

Review: Jade War (The Green Bone Saga #2) by Fonda Lee

January 4, 2022 by Jared Besse Leave a Comment

Jade War by Fonda Lee increased everything I loved about the first book and made for a truly breathless read. While the first book was enjoyable, something about it was lacking for me. This sequel expelled any doubts and was a fantastic continuation of the story. (minor spoilers for the first book follow)
