The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
4.5
challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
This book is heavy, nuanced, and one that takes time to get through. I enjoyed it, as it is thought-provoking, but I set it down many times as it is graphic and can be disturbing. I highly recommend it, but not if you are not in a place to read a novel about the horrors of war.
