Book of the Month Preview: ‘Jade City’ by Fonda Lee
It seems April is the perfect month to dive into a new series. It’s hard to choose a book to kick off spring, and Maude Garrett has had this series on her TBR for a while.
Our BOOK OF THE MONTH for April is Jade City by Fonda Lee.
According to Goodreads reviews, people have said, “JADE CITY is a gripping Godfather-esque saga of intergenerational blood feuds, vicious politics, magic, and kungfu.” That certainly has our attention!
