A review by joanna1905
The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang

4.0

I was pretty high hopes for The Poppy War since I’ve heard such great things about it for years - and after reading Babel and Yellow face I was even more intrigued - and it did not disappoint.

The poppy war is a well written and Intriguing fantasy novel, for the most part the grim dark tag doesn’t feel totally accurate, however, towards the end there is an extremely fucked up chapter that incredibly dark.

I’m really interested to see where the rest of the series goes, it feels as if book one broke the mould of what we tend to expect in a fantasy books - and I have super high goes that she continues with this vibe.
