Reread 2021 in audio because I guess I like pain in anticipation for Jade Legacy.

Jade City caused SO. MUCH. DISTRESS. In a good way, thankfully. Fonda Lee creates characters that will make you want to be invested in and care about them, but then rip out your heart while you're crying. The story was a little hard to get into at first only because I spend 98% of my reading with YA, but once I got used to it, I really enjoyed Jade City! I loved being immersed in the world of Kekon and jade with the growing tensions between the No Peak and Mountain clans. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, wanting to know when and if something will explode between the clans, and I'm on the hunt* for Jade War as soon as my library pile dwindles down.

*I have a copy of Jade War right now! I totally wrote the review sometime last year and never scheduled it until months later. But hey, better than January 2019? Just kidding, I've got some from February and March probably.
