The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
5.0
adventurous dark reflective tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated
Absolutely phenomenal, start to finish.  Excellent pacing, always felt satisfied by an event or tense waiting until the next one to drop.  Not for the faint of heart.  Summed up by:  “Just because we don’t like the results doesn’t mean we weren’t responsible for the choices that lead to them.”
