grim_vanity's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

Got bored with the plot, was kinda slow. Also why did one of the chapters open with fisting?

AMAZING. I loved the first book and this only built on it. Raises challenging issues but is done so so well. Highly recommend this book and duology for people who enjoy the more bloody and violent side of fantasy (the poppy war I'm looking at you), while also providing new sides to history which aren't really covered in mainstream education (I'm from the UK). I love the writing style and pretty much everything about this book.

I loved the first book in the series so much I was worried this wouldn’t hold up to my expectations but it absolutely did. So amazing and just as engaging and heart-stopping as She Who Became The Sun.
