The Poppy War

Kuang has written something that will make you laugh, cry, rage and sometimes gasp at the horrible, barbaric scenes.

Rin is a character you can't help but root for, she grows so much already within this first book, I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for the next two books.

Warning - some scenes are hard to get through, but it does paint a vivid and cruel painting of what war can be. I'm glad, in a way, that Kuang went into this detail as life, especially war, isn't all rainbows and butterflies.
