Review of 'Jade War' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This series continues to deliver. A thoroughly enjoyable read with top notch world building. The author has carefully set up this mirror world to our own to make salient points about current world politics. The story cracks along and she develops her concept nicely. It doesn't quite get the 5 stars from me because I feel the main characters are a little too one-dimensional for my taste. They always respond exactly as you would predict but that doesn't stop the story from having twists a plenty. A definite recommend and I will be buying the next one.
