The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang

5.0

5/5 Wow. Stunning. This book took me on an epic journey that I don’t think I’m going to forget anytime soon!

The world was so detailed and complex and felt so terrifyingly (and, at the same time, beautifully) real. The characters were all extremely fleshed out; each person had their own wants and needs and the stakes were always SO HIGH.

I need to process a bit more before I say anything further, but I think this is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time.
