The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang

3.0

The rumors about her exceptional writing skills are true. I really enjoyed this book. I loved the foreshadowing into Rin's character and who she would become. The portrayal of her humanity being slowly taken away was really sad to read but done so well.
However, I was confused on many things, especially when it came to the drugs in relation to calling the Gods. My brain kept convincing me that everyone was high and hallucinating and the powers they possessed were metaphoric
