linara4522 's review for:

The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
5.0

First Read
Simply ASTOUDING! i have no words to describe how immensely shook i've been left after reading this MASTERPIECE!!!
I could aspire to write as well as what R.F Kuang has created. From the characters to the word building, everything is just so IMMACULATE. The pacing is just so intriguingly absurd and engaging.
I picked this book up during my finals week, and i deeply regret doing so since i couldn't bring myself to put this damned book down. It was THAT addicting!!! Sorry for raving over this book without any arguments but like i plan or rereading it soon (or at least i hope to) and when i finish my second read i'll write an understandable review with actual paragraphs, introduction and conclusion. *sigh* How the hell am i supposed to find a BETTER book that this one?????!!!!


Second Read
I really enjoyed it once again. The reality of history combined with fantastical elements brings forth an amazing intrigue.
I'm about to read the sequel right away. A more independent review will be posted later on (maybe. No promises)
