Untethered Sky by Fonda Lee

So it's not technically dragons...but it's like dragons.
I was really worried that Fonda Lee was going to kill me like she has before, so like... I'm glad the ending did the thing it did. Because there were 12 other ways it could go, and they would have been absolutely soul crushing.

Jade Legacy by Fonda Lee

Y'all...this book has me so freaking stressed. 
I don't know how to put into words how I feel about this book because like...so much happened and it was fantastic...like...the book spanned like....ages...
At one point I was gonna be like "the women are carrying the book" but nope....all the characters pull their weight, and I love all of them...
The character growth. The fricking character growth. Like. And like...the relationship growth. Like...
I want to do the thing that they did at the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King credits and just show the characters so I can be like: 

Because Hilo is just... like...I love him. And I love Anden. And Niko and Ru. And Shae and Wen. Like...the choices that they make and how and why they make their choices. 
And the world-building, and the politics, and like... bringing in pieces of the world that are really obvious when you're in a world, but that like...take work to build, like media....
Me: ...this feels like a certain scene from Hamilton....
oh and this also feels like a scene from Hamilton.
I have been on a journey....like more of a journey than when I listened to 10 min. All Too Well for the first time.... and like....I don't know how any expects me to be ok after finishing this book. Like...

Finishes book: now what?

It's a fricking masterpiece and I'm going to go stare off into space now because reasons.

Jade War by Fonda Lee

"and I've been given no thanks": Alexa play the cat scene from The Godfather
This book series is so fricking stressful because it's about crime bosses which means that literally anyone can die. And it's not helping my anxiety. Because now I care about the characters and their well-being....it's really rude. 
I feel slightly concerned that I see this character that's the crime boss, and I'm like...he's adorable: 

I thought the like..time-span of the book was going to be a short period of time, but it spans a couple of years...which I'm here for.. Like I appreciate that we didn't sit and watch paint dry. 

(cough: it's a good thing the last book is coming out at the end of the month because I. Am. Stressed.)
