The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
5.0
adventurous dark emotional informative sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
This book truly exceeded my expectations! It’s extremely gruesome but the story of being fully consumed by revenge and power is just so good. Also the Chinese history that inspires Kuang in the world building is amazing. She truly created a terrifying and fantastic world with characters that’ll live with me forever. I loved this book but I will say the gruesome elements are A LOT! She does not shy away from imagery and there are somethings she describes that I’ll never get out of my head. I’m scared for the following books in the series. Please read trigger warnings before picking up this book, I beg of you!
