Great cast of characters - though there were a bit many to remember at some point -, a solid writing style, and a well-structured plot with some twists and turns that do ultimately make a lot of sense. 8,5/10

This book gripped me in a way no other has in a while. Thrilling and haunting in equal measure. The Poppy War will make you laugh and hope, and then slap you with the atrocities of war. You will root for the protagonist, Rin, and fear her all at once. You will sympathize with characters you once hated. You will watch characters morph and change for the better, but more often for the worse.
Rin is a poor war orphan who studies her way out of Rooster Province and into the prestigious Sinegard Academy. The events that unfold from there, I will leave for you to discover. Needless to say, I will be continuing this series.
