Crying

I feel like I saw some part of the ending coming, but not to this extent. 

R.F. Kuang’s writing and The Poppy War is forever ingrained in my brain. I’ll miss all these characters.

My soul has been decimated. If you want a happily ever after… steer clear of this trilogy. If you want outstanding literature that will pierce your heart forever… leaving you in shambles… you’ve met your match. 

I barely have words. I felt every emotion in my arsenal, and I’m glad I saw it through to the end. A conclusion that tore me to shreds, but I don’t know that I could’ve seen it wrapped up in any other way. 

RF Kuang’s writing is god tier in my book, these characters will live in my heart for eternity.
