With the Poppy War series one of my favourite pieces of literature I so hoped I wasn't going to be disappointed, and I was so beyond impressed. Although I'm not without criticisms it would have been disingenuous not to give this 5 stars purely based on how deeply this impacted and moved me. R. F. Kuang is a true master of her craft.
I'm gonna go and sit in a dark room sobbing now.
