The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
2.5
adventurous medium-paced

A lot can happen in 500+ pages. Mostly enjoyable and only occasionally immature. Plus it includes the following... 🐖⛰️🏋‍♀️🔥🥓. 

However, the rest of the series is a disappointment. It becomes darker and more immature which is a terrible combo. Due to the level of whining alone I must retroactively knock my original rating of a 4 down to a more appropriate average rating. Any enjoyment is canceled out by a negative so I feel this is more accurate. None of this best series ever nonsense. 🙄
