The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang

4.0

Enjoyable read. Takes a hard, grim turn after the schooling portion of the narrative. Makes me wonder how long it’ll keep that tone during the rest of the series.

I feel like it’d be hard not to, but it’d be kind of exhausting, and there are really no characters that bring any levity to the story. Not a point against it, but it does make me curious - in a good way.
