Battered by war and tragedy, the Kauls are plagued by resentments and old wounds as their adversaries are on the ascent and their country is riven by dangerous factions and foreign interference. The clan must discern allies from enemies, set aside bloody rivalries, and make terrible sacrifices… but even the unbreakable bonds of blood and loyalty may not be enough to ensure the survival of the Green Bone clans and the nation they are sworn to protect.
Wow. This really wraps up the series perfectly, with a lot of sadness and some hope. I continue to be in awe of Fonda Lee's ability to make me care about a bunch of violent gangsters - this really isn't a genre I usually go for but she hooked me in and kept me reading. And I continue to love the image of Janloon and wish I could visit it for real - the tourist guide appendix is a very nice touch.
