This book was SOOO good, it was 4 ⭐ for me.
Despite the story, I find the narrator’s voice soothing and I love how she makes a different voice for each character.
I did not expect the story to go so quickly. I’m used to books where stories usually happen in such a short amount of time but this was maybe 3-4 years? I think if the author would’ve decided to make 1 book for each year of her in the school I would’ve read them too and they would’ve been great.
The first half is Rin basically preparing for school and then getting in and being a very good student to keep her place there. I liked it so much because I was proud of her and it felt like learning history with all the information about the other Poppy Wars.
Maybe she didn’t know completely what she was doing, but I admire her for literally eliminating menstruation and all that shit to be unstoppable. I’ll be needing the formula lol
Once the war started I was so in shock that I could not even cry from the horrors (check trigger warnings!), I wonder what the author has prepared for the next books.
I want to know more about the 13th division, I want to get to know them all because I think she might be spending so much more time with them and well I need to connect to someone to cry when they die lol besides their powers seems interesting.
The only two I kinda care about if something happens to them are Kitay (bc that’s maybe her only true friend) and Ramsa (he’s literally just a kid!)
I’m so ready to see how Rin will burn the enemy to the ground 🔥

Moderate: Animal death and Infertility
Please be sure to check ALL the trigger warnings by all readers because a lot of things happen and I imagine the next books will be even darker.
- Menstruation / Infertility: She got her first period in the school, and what’s shocking is how she drank something to stop it forever, basically killing that organ.
- Death / Murder / Genocide: because of the war
- War: it’s literally on the title lol, it mostly happens in the second half of the book
- Injury / blood / gore: when they find all those people in the end...
- Animal death: She killed a dog to defend herself
- Rape: Someone she knows was raped and she describes how so many other women too. It's pure horror.
- Addiction / Drug use: They take a drug to be able to connect with the Gods?
