A review by tayanapier
The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang

5.0

4.5 stars mention of information that could be spoilers.
Trigger warning for everything you could possible think of for this book. It does not gloss over anything in the reality of war. However I found it did gloss over moments that could have made character deaths more impactful. The book is only 500 pages and it packed at least 4 years into it. By the end of the book Rin was definitely an unlikable character however I found her actions to be true to what was happening around her and based on the trauma she had experienced.
