lferris 's review for:

The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
3.25
adventurous dark mysterious sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The decisions made by the main characters were infuriatingly illogical and childish more often than not. 

The trigger warnings are also a must - this book has immensely graphic details of rape, violence, and torture in it. This normally wouldn’t deter me from reading a book, but I found it to be too much for me.

Overall, the world building, fantasy, and lore I enjoyed.
