Jade War by Fonda Lee

We continue on with book two in The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee.

The Kaul siblings' battle with rival clans reaches new heights in the heart-pounding continuation of the Green Bone Saga, an epic trilogy about family, honor, and those who live and die by the ancient laws of blood and jade.

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.

• We'll begin our meeting by choosing our next upcoming book (we stay two months planned in advance). Then we'll open the table for discussion. Our group doesn't go down a predetermined list of questions, but instead has an open floor for discussing the things that stood out to our members as they read.
• The Creamery has coffee, tea, and energy drink options available as well as a good selection of pastries. We grab a big table in the side room for our group to sit together.
• All we ask is that everyone come into our meetings with respect for each other, and differing thoughts and opinions! Hope to see you there.
