Sesuka itu. This is my first review on Goodreads hanya untuk memuji The Poppy War. Selama baca buku ini kayaknya saya berenti baca karena memang butuh tidur, alurnya sangat menarik. Plot twist demi plot twist selalu ada di momen yang pas. Friendship, romance, family paket komplit semuanya ada di sini. Oya, buku ini versi terjemahan Bahasa Indonesia-nya juga sangat mudah dipahami

This book has just gotten darker and darker, and i honestly do not know what to think of it. When the protagonist becomes the villain, who do you root for?

4.75- dk how I feel abt the ending

i really enjoyed the time when Rin was still at school; it reminded me a bit of Harry Potter and Aang. as a reader, i could see her efforts to master combat and spirituality. but as the story progressed, i barely felt any character development in her, which was unfortunate. 

i didn’t like some of the dialogues between the Cike characters, especially in the chapter where they were first introduced, because it gave off a feeling like i was watching cartoons. 

towards the end, there were a lot of things that were told instead of shown, basically info dumping.

what i also don’t understand was why Nezha suddenly being nice to her after treating her like shit for years at school. doesn’t make sense to me.
