A review by starryeyedenigma
The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang

5.0

The second book from The Poppy War trilogy continues to amaze and completely destroy you as a reader. RF Kuang has bowled me over with her continued ingenuity and her ability to use historic events and cultural and theological concepts and blend them all in such an engaging plot!

None of the usual tropes one finds in fantasy such as the chosen one trope or the good vs evil trope or enemies to lovers seem to be used by the author in their usual way so far in the books. Welcome to the horrors of war.

One thing is certain..Nothing Lasts..

Can't wait to read the finale :)
