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

4.0

i had high expectations. that never quite works out, but... this book was good. enjoyable and easy to read. the fantasy elements were unique and kept me entertained. my biggest problem was that i couldn't connect to the characters. they felt all kinda hollow to me. but,

i love my protagonists evil,

and that is already enough reason to keep reading the series
