Weirdly enough the first 50% flew by and the last 50% dragged. I recognize that most probably it’s not a book problem but a me problem.
Nevertheless it’s still a solid good book, especially for period kdramas fans.

I didn’t see myself reading The Poppy War but had the pleasure of doing it through a buddy read with @nowheregirlandherbooks ☺️
For me it’s a solid first book in a trilogy, it got all the successful elements to keep you turning pages. I loved Rin, she’s a true badass character and I was surprised with all the witnesses and the subtle humor.
Gotta say I preferred the school context rather than the war and wished to have seen more of Nezha’s development as a character.
Overall it didn’t wow me but I enjoined it a lot! Let’s see what the other two books bring.

I lost count the times my body physically shivered when I read certain parts of this book, so I cannot imagine what must have felt being imprisoned in North Korea for endless months.
I had already read Lisa’s (Euna’s work partner) side of the story but although I knew how everything turned out it still felt like the first time.
A heart wrenching testimonial filled with little beams of hopefulness and kindness that moved me and makes me believe in human kind.
The first book I read from Gayle Forman was Just One Day and I loved it so much that I decided to read this one. There was so many good reviews I had really high expectations for this book. It disappointing me. The concept is good but I don't know I didn't connect with most of the characters and the only time I was enjoying my reading was during the present time. This book for me was all over the place.
