I DON’T KNOW HOW RF KUANG DELIVERS EVERY TIME!! This book was amazing, and the story building/plot is unbelievable good. There were so many new characters, and this world has truly manifested into such a complex and real world. I love how morally gray Rin is; it brings so much depth to the characters and book. One moment I would be laughing at Kitay and Nezha’s pesky banter and remarks to hurting at plot twists and betrayals. I truly love the Poppy War world so much because R.F. Kuang has crafted a literary masterpiece of layered characters and jaw dropping plot lines.
