SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading this book before listening.
In episode 2 of our three-episode exploration of the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee we dive into the sequel, Jade War. We examine the widening of the world as the clan conflict requires political and economic moves to be made outside of Kekon. We re-join all of the main characters to see how the twists and turns of the plot have impacted them. We discuss the continuing themes of family and modernisation vs tradition, and we comment on some issues with the writing style and decisions throughout.
