adr14nn 's review for:

The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
4.0
adventurous dark tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Solid and good. Made me want to educate myself more on the parallel irl history, because its really grotesque.
I like when fantasy books base their magic in folklore, like fx children of blood and bone, it makes for more interesting stories imo.
