barely know how to describe my experience reading this book… I definitely went into it somewhat blind, not expecting how dark and adult fantasy "The Poppy War" actually is, but I ended up really enjoying it. It is so different from what I have read before but I really respect the story R.F. Kuang brought to us and I am going straight into the second book "the Dragon Republic".
