dark emotional tense

4.25

there are really no words things just get worse and worse - rf kuang really knows how to up the stakes and the horrors of war. 

the last few chapters, man….

hard to rate because i read it in chunks over many months but five stars for the technical craft and story

If you enjoy Poppy war (first book) definitely read this one. The stories continue, a war between good/bad, right and wrong, responsibilities, love/hate, danger/peace. The book has all. Red. It.
