The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
4.0
I don't have much to say on this one.
The first act felt like a YA set-up to me. I was a BIG fan of Jiang and I LOVE him! Based on reviews I heard, the first act was very confusing because I was anticipating war and destruction and then it was just her in school. I liked this part though.
Part two was by far the best for me. I enjoyed the introduction to all the new character and Rin finding comradery and finding her feet as a warrior and defender of her country. I loved being in her mind and seeing things through her eyes.
Part three fell flat for me personally. I am aware that big major things happens and I knew I was supposed to be in shock but it took me so long to get through this book that by this stage I didn't really care and was just trying to finish. Maybe on a reread I could enjoy the third part more.
