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

2.75

2.75/5 I love the heroine in this book. She’s strong, intelligent, and independent. But this whole book is too YA-ish to me. I expected more and deeper discussions about human condition, the logic and effects of war, self discovery and so on. Especially, this book is based on real and cruel historical events happened in my homeland, so I naturally asked for more. This book kinda fell flat for me. I didn’t plan to continue this series, but I've read yellowface and babel and I loved them both. I definitely am looking forward to more books from Kuang.
