The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
3.5
adventurous challenging dark tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
The Poppy War was unfortunately the victim of my ongoing book slump, so it’s hard to give it an accurate rating. Coming hot off of the She Who Became the Sun duology, I felt like I was diving into a book I had just finished reading. This is definitely a story that warrants a reread and is not without its shocking moments, but I should have given myself more time between fantasy books before diving into The Poppy War.
