Jade City

In all honesty, with how many times I've seen this trilogy on people's “Best Fantasy Series” lists I expected more fantasy but I still really enjoyed this.

If you go into it expected an urban fantasy which is more focused on clan power, family drama and some fantasy/action then it will likely be an instant 5 stars.

For me, I did find the first 50% enjoyable to read but quite slow, I could tell it was setting the scene, building the world and introducing us to the characters then an event happened which propelled the story forwards and turned it up a few notches.

I already feel so invested in these characters and this world, so whilst this wasn't a perfect first book for me, I know I'm going to love the rest of the series and can't wait to continue.
