annablanna 's review for:

The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
4.5
adventurous dark mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Dark and mystical. The most realistic portrayal of war I've read in fantasy literature– there are no happy endings. Was wild to finish it off whilst a little high on (hospital-issued) drugs when drugs were a main focus of the text. Another killer text from Kuang.
