Description In Pursuance Of Books The Poppy War (The Poppy War #1)

When Rin aced the Keju—the Empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to learn at the Academies—it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who believed they’d finally be able to marry her off and further their criminal enterprise; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free of the servitude and despair that had made up her daily existence. That she got into Sinegard—the most elite military school in Nikan—was even more surprising. But surprises aren’t always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Targeted from the outset by rival classmates for her color, poverty, and gender, Rin discovers she possesses a lethal, unearthly power—an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of a seemingly insane teacher and psychoactive substances, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive—and that mastering control over those powers could mean more than just surviving school. For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The militarily advanced Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most of the people are complacent to go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away . . . Rin’s shamanic powers may be the only way to save her people. But as she finds out more about the god that has chosen her, the vengeful Phoenix, she fears that winning the war may cost her humanity . . . and that it may already be too late.

A really good book has a beginning, a middle, and then it absolutely ends you. The Poppy War is a really good book. I wish my pupils were at least heart-shaped so I could more accurately demonstrate my passion but if I ever die suddenly and don't have time to say anything profound, just know that my real last words will always be about how much I love this book. So, what's this book about? The Poppy War is a historical military fantasy grounded in the bloody history of Chinas 20th century in

This book came so highly rated, I almost felt guilty for that deja vu feeling that I had read this book before from a different author under a

Late to the party here but just gotta say, thank you for your review - you summed up my feelings exactly! It's nice to know that someone else was so

Me: typing this post while trying not to move my neck because this book gave me a spine-cracking case of whiplashWhat just happened? I havent experienced this kind of love/hate 180 with a book in years. Its like this was written by two people. One would be an author I would add to my auto-buy list. The other I would never read again.Let me go ahead and throw out the obligatory SPOILERS warning now, because I have some feels and I need to talk about them without censuring myself.This book is

But I warn you, little warrior. The price of power is pain. Holy hell, what did I just read??➽ A fantasy military school➽ A rich world based on modern Chinese history➽ Shamans and gods➽ Detailed characterization leading to unforgettable characters➽ Adorable, opium-smoking mentorsThat's a basic list, but this book is all of that and SO MUCH MORE. I know 100% that The Poppy War will be one of my best reads of 2018.Isn't it just so great when you find one of those books that completely drags you

ARC provided by the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. But I warn you, little warrior. The price of power is pain. First and foremost, please go read one of my best friends in this entire worlds review: Petriks review is not only amazing, he is also an ownvoices Chinese reviewer. Next, I just want to warn you guys that this is a very dark book that is heavily inspired by the Nanking Massacre. Please use caution and know that this book has major trigger and content

2.5⭐Loved it when I first read but the more time passes the more I recall many of the problems I overlooked what with all the excitement of finally reading it. First part was incredibly enjoyable. Second part is where everything went haywire. Too many inconsistencies with the mc and in the pacing. This book is NOT your run of the mill fantasy. Be mindful of trigger warnings for... well, everything.
