Review
“The book starts as an epic bildungsroman, and just when you think it can’t get any darker, it does [...] Kuang pulls from East Asian history, including the brutality of the Second Sino-Japanese war, to weave a wholly unique experience.” — Washington Post
“Kuang ambitiously begins a trilogy that doesn’t shy away from the darkest sides of her characters, wrapped in a confectionery of high-fantasy pulp. [...] The future of Rin in this world may appear quite dark, but that of the series seems bright indeed.” — New York Daily News
“Battles. Bloodshed. Drugs. Amazing, amazing characters. Read it!” — Peng Shepherd, author of The Cartographers
“[The Poppy War is] strikingly grim military fantasy that summons readers into an East Asian–-inspired world of battles, opium, gods, and monsters. Fans of Ken Liu’s The Grace of Kings will snap this one up.” — Library Journal (starred review)
“Debut novelist Kuang creates an ambitious fantasy reimagining of Asian history populated by martial artists, philosopher-generals, and gods [...] This is a strong and dramatic launch to Kuang’s career.” — Publishers Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite book of 2025
This special edition will not disappoint. It is gorgeous from the cover to inside artwork to the smooth pages. The story will immerse you in a strange yet somehow familiar world. I thoroughly enjoyed this story which was at times a coming of age story and later an explicit war journal. Riveting, I couldn’t put it down.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful artwork
Beautiful book. Excellent story too.
4.0 out of 5 stars Grim Dark Fantasy War Novel, Interesting story overall a very solid read.
I really enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to the next one. This is a grim dark war fantasy novel, so some of the war scenes were a bit dark but the story overall is very well written and interesting. I enjoyed the read.

This is one of my favorite series! The book arrived in perfect condition and nicely wrapped. The print is good quality, sometimes Im afraid to buy books online since I love to display them and they are not always as perfect as one wants them to be, but this one made me change my mind about that.

Gente, o livro é maravilhoso. Muito lindo e muito bem acabado. Eu AMEI!Para os fãs da Kuang é um presente digno, lembrando que essa capa era o que a autora imaginava desde o ínicio.O único ponto que me incomodou no inicio foram as folhas brancas, mas acredito serem pela ilustração e tals (QUE SÃO MUITO PERFEITAS SÉRIO)Um ponto negativo da entrega: é um livro importado, então além de vir sem embalagem plastica, ele veio sozinho (meio que de qualquer jeito) na caixa, nem um plastico bolha colocaram, sendo a caixa maior, poderia ter danificado o livro que graças, não ocorreu.Se tratando de um livro caro, eu digo, esperem uma promo de cento e pouco que mesmo chorando, compensa.Estou ansiosa pelo lançamento do 2° <3
