Resumen del Editor

Rin’s story continues in this acclaimed sequel to The Poppy War - an epic fantasy combining the history of 20th-century China with a gripping world of gods and monsters.

The war is over.
The war has just begun.

Three times throughout its history, Nikan has fought for its survival in the bloody Poppy Wars. Though the third battle has just ended, shaman and warrior Rin cannot forget the atrocity she committed to save her people. Now she is on the run from her guilt, the opium addiction that holds her like a vice, and the murderous commands of the fiery Phoenix - the vengeful god who has blessed Rin with her fearsome power.

Though she does not want to live, she refuses to die until she avenges the traitorous Empress who betrayed Rin’s homeland to its enemies. Her only hope is to join forces with the powerful Dragon Warlord, who plots to conquer Nikan, unseat the Empress, and create a new republic.

But neither the Empress nor the Dragon Warlord are what they seem. The more Rin witnesses, the more she fears her love for Nikan will force her to use the Phoenix’s deadly power once more.

Because there is nothing Rin won’t sacrifice to save her country...and exact her vengeance.

Love love love

I devoured this second installment... I can’t wait for the third—to learn what Rin does next.

This is a masterpiece

I'm amazed at how efficiently the author is capable of sculpting the story and tug at my emotions. the story dragged a little TOO long in the first half but the ending was worth it.

100 out of 10

R.F Kunag never ceases to fucking amaze me! Get the audiobook , get the book, get the Kindle version just read it!

Would recommend!

I highly recommend this book. The author is amazing and the reader does an outstanding job! I wish more books could be like this. Be sure to listen to the first book in the series first. <3

Blown away

I really enjoyed the first book but it felt it was slightly messy in terms of pacing/ plot progression - this second installment absolutely blew me away though. It was perfectly crafted and completely sucked me in. The narrator’s performance was great too and I loved how distinctive everyone’s voices were. She really humanized the characters which made this morally grey story even more powerful. Can’t wait to go right into the third book!

Hesperians gonna be mad

I admit that Rin is NOT a likeable MC but I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish. These books are written SO well and you can get so lost in the narrative. Kuang is an amazing writer. I just want the next book I read from her to have a less irritating MC,

An awesome sequel and Emily Woo Zeller continues to CRUSH these narrations

The Poppy Wars took about a week over the course of a road trip. Once we got back, I did The Dragon Republic in just a few days

Great Read

If you like historical fiction this is the book and even if you are just a fan of great literature you also have something of merit in R.F. Kuang’s Poppy war series.

Just incredible storytelling

This is my second read through of the trilogy and I am on the edge of my seat just as much as I was on the first go round. Simply incredible storytelling by RF Kuang and the audio performance is fantastic as well!

AMAZING!

Book is amazing at blending East Asian History into a fictional fantasy. Specifically the Sino-Japanese and Opium Wars, really impressive and enganging.

Narrator is also great, gave each character alot of depth!
