Explanation Supposing 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.Rating Epithetical Books The Poppy War (The Poppy War #1)

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 inLate 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
It was so weird seeing everyone love this book this much. I don't understand it. At the beginning Rin was such an intriguing character and I really
This book was incredible and is a new favourite fantasy! *Would not recommend for young/sensitive readers - very graphicReview available on my channel - www.youtube.com/pieraforde
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
The Nikara believed in strictly defined social roles, a rigid hierarchy that all were locked into at birth. Everything had its own place under heaven. Princelings became Warlords, cadets became soldiers, and orphan shopgirls from Tikany should be content with remaining orphan shopgirls from Tikany. Well, fuck the heavenly order of things. Epic. Spectacular. Breathtaking. This is the one of the best books I have ever read in my adult life. I literally could not put it down. I'm gushing, I know,
The Poppy War is not a book to be missed by fantasy fans and especially those who like it infused with copious amounts of blood, darkness and misery. This isnt some fluffy little tale about teenage romance and personal discovery (although it may seem that way in the beginning.) This is a book about reality. Now thats an odd thing to say isnt it? Reality? Were talking about fantasy here. But do let me explain. This is a book about the realities of war. War isnt pretty. War isnt about heroics and
