annarella 's review for:

The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
5.0

I would like to write a long essay about the literary pros and cons of this book but what really mattered was the pleasure I had in reading this book.
An entertaining and wonderful fantasy with a lot of world building that reminded me of Judge Dee mysteries (I love that books).
The book is complex and easy to read at same time as you are so enthralled that you just want to read more.
One of the best fantasy I read in a long time.
It's highly recommended to whoever wants to read a fantasy novel that gives you a lot of pleasure in reading it.
Many thanks to HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction and Netgalley for the ARC.
