This little novella is a book 2.5 in the Poppy War series. It’s available for free download in R.F. Kuang’s website and it tells certain parts from books 1 and 2 in Nezha’s perspective.

It’s a great little addition to the series, especially for a Nezha fan like myself.

“He loves her.
Of this he’s certain.
He loves her laugh; that sharp, sudden sound; the cynical laugh that always comes too quick, like it’s ripped out of her. He loves her quick, confident grin. He loves her resilience, her bravery, even her impulsiveness.
She’s everything he’s not: unbound, reckless, free. He’s never known anyone like her.
She terrifies him, and he loves her so much it hurts.”

“She’s the only divine thing he’s ever believed in. The only creature in this vast, cruel land who could kill him. And sometimes, in his loveliest dreams, he imagines she does.”
