The Poppy War was a masterpiece and a great reading experience, I think that Dragon Republic is even better as it's faster paced, darker and action packed.
Everything surpass any possible expectation, from character development to world building.
It was a book I couldn't put down, a page turner that kept me hooked till the last page.
I could write an essay on this book or keep simple and write that this is a must-read series if you like fantasy.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Edelweiss for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
