Über diesen Titel

 WINNER OF THE WORLD FANTASY AWARD 2018

'An epic drama reminiscent of the best classic Hong Kong gangster films but set in a fantasy metropolis so gritty and well-imagined that you'll forget you're reading a book'
KEN LIU, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards

'Gripping!' ANN LECKIE, author of Ancillary Justice and The Raven Tower

'Lee's astute worldbuilding raises the stakes for her vivid and tautly-described action scenes' SCOTT LYNCH, author of The Lies of Locke Lamora

*****Shortlisted for the Nebula Awards, the Locus Awards, the Aurora Awards, the Sunburst Awards and an Amazon.com Best Book of the Month*****

TWO CRIME FAMILIES, ONE SOURCE OF POWER: JADE.

Jade is the lifeblood of the city of Janloon - a stone that enhances a warrior's natural strength and speed. Jade is mined, traded, stolen and killed for, controlled by the ruthless No Peak and Mountain families.
When a modern drug emerges that allows anyone - even foreigners - to wield jade, simmering tension between the two families erupts into open violence. The outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all in the families, from their grandest patriarch to even the lowliest runner on the streets.

Jade City is an epic tale of blood, family, honour, and of those who live and die by ancient laws in a changing world.©2017 Fonda Lee Action & Abenteuer Epic Fantasy Fantasy Thriller

Kritikerstimmen

Stylish and action-packed, full of ambitious families and guilt-ridden loves, Jade City is an epic drama reminiscent of the best classic Hong Kong gangster films but takes place in a fantasy metropolis so gritty and well imagined that you'll forget you're reading a book (Ken Liu, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards and author of The Grace of Kings and The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories)

Really great story that completely draws you in and doesn’t let go. Was not that into the idea of the setting before I started and now absolutely love it. Narrator does a great job too.

Fantastic

One of the most thrilling audiobooks I heard since Corona startet and I heard quite a lot since then.
The world building is superb and the characters are highly relatable. I can't wait to continue this journey.
I'm afraid I am addicted to Jade now ☺️

Urban fantasy at ist best.
