i have chills. the poppy war captivated me and revolted me and terrified me. an absolutely brilliant debut. the world-building was beyond thoughtful and the writing style simply "clicked" for me.
i'm so grateful i started this series after all 3 books were published - i can't imagine waiting so long to finish.
CW (if helpful, there is one incredibly graphic chapter that can be skipped that would avoid many of these): genocide, murder/death, rape, violence, gore, war, drug use, addiction, torture, violence, self harm, animal cruelty, animal death, classism
