My R.F. Kuang The Poppy War Trilogy Review
This trilogy review has been a long time coming, considering I read these books years ago and then finally did my first reread a little under a month ago.

R.F. Kuang’s The Burning God Ripped My Heart Out
This militaristic political fantasy has run laps over my heart, giving it such pleasure with the rich description and detail of the story world, characters, and action, while also pummelling it to pieces because of said description, characters, and action.

My January 2025 Reading Summary

I DNFed The Dragon Republic Three Times But I Still Love It
I first time I read R.F. Kuang’s The Dragon Republic, I DNFed it three times. When I then had the time to read it, I fell in love with it. Now, having reread it without a DNF, my thoughts and feelings about the book have solidified. In short, it is intimidating, incredible, and leaves a…

R.F. Kuang’s The Poppy War – High Fantasy With All The Good Parts
R.F. Kuang’s The Poppy War is a novel I cannot forget, not only in its narrative plot, but in its strong characters, intense political setting, and the touches of historical inspiration and imagery. It is the adult fantasy that made me reconsider my preferences in fantasy, shifting from YA to the more gritty, more layered…
