5.0
I simply can’t rave about this book enough. It’s quite possible the best fantasy book I’ve read in years.
This book shows why I love fantasy. It’s incredibly well written, you can really tell the author has a background in history. It’s terrifying and sickening and captivating. The characters are horrible and made me cry for them.
I don’t give books five stars often. For that to happen they have to be on point from the beginning. They have to stick with me even after I’ve finished it.
The Poppy War does all that and more. The next book arrives in less than two days and physically have to stop myself from reading it online before that.
