This book, and the rest of The Poppy War trilogy has so many trigger warnings. Please read with caution.

My God. What a book. It took a long while to read, but goddamn was it so good. Every turn of every page makes it known that you wouldn't know what is going to happen next.

It was devastating to read, but by the gods was it ridiculous in a good way. Gonna read the third book now just to keep the momentum going. Am I going to take years again to finish?

Who knows???

Such an emotional journey to read this series so far. Its dark and beats you while your down, but the moments of positivity feel so good because of it.
