Absolutely devastating in a multitude of ways, although not totally unexpected ones. I think certain characters have been barreling towards an inevitable point for some time now- but that still doesn’t mean it's not almost excruciatingly difficult to watch happen. ( ) Series Info/Source: This is the third (and final) book in the Poppy Wars series. I got a paperback version of this for my birthday. Thoughts: I really enjoyed how this series wrapped up. The ending was very in keeping with the feel and themes of the whole series. In this final novel in The Poppy War trilogy, Rin is initially focusing on taking over the south provinces, especially her home town of Tikany. However, when the leaders of the south betray her, she decides to make an army of her own out of the people of the south and not only take back the south, but also take on the Dragon Republic. Unfortunately, she is only focused on vengeance and not on the leadership that will be needed after the war to pull her country out of the mess it's spiraled into. This is very well written and engaging. The pace is fast and, even though there are a lot of places and people to follow, Kuang does an excellent job of making this easy for the reader. The tone to this remains grim, with a lot of violence and war. There is a lot of discussion of what (and how many people) is okay to sacrifice in order to provide the country with what Rin thinks is a brighter future. There is some great insight into leaders and war and how these leaders justify some of their horrendous actions. There is also a heavy theme of an invader with better technology and what should be done when a society could really benefit from that technology but doesn't want to be ruled by the invader. If you enjoyed the first two books in the series, you will enjoy this one as well. I thought the way everything was wrapped up was very appropriate and in keeping with the tone of the series. My Summary (5/5): Overall I enjoyed this book a lot and really enjoyed the series as a whole. The whole series has wonderful world building, amazing characters, intriguing magic, and a well done political plot. I would recommend to those who enjoy epic fantasies and don't mind a lot of war and violence. This book does an excellent job tying up the series and stays true to the series' themes and tone. I am excited to read Kuang's book "Babel" at some point in the future. sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica

HTML: The exciting end to The Poppy War trilogy, R. F. Kuang's acclaimed, award-winning epic fantasy that combines the history of twentieth-century China with a gripping world of gods and monsters, to devastating, enthralling effect. Despite her losses, Rin hasn't given up on those for whom she has sacrificed so muchâ??the people of the southern provinces and especially Tikany, the village that is her home. Returning to her roots, Rin meets difficult challengesâ??and unexpected opportunities. While her new allies in the Southern Coalition leadership are sly and untrustworthy, Rin quickly realizes that the real power in Nikan lies with the millions of common people who thirst for vengeance and revere her as a goddess of salvation. Backed by the masses and her Southern Army, Rin will use every weapon to defeat the Dragon Republic, the colonizing Hesperians, and all who threaten the shamanic arts and their practitioners. As her power and influence grows, though, will she be strong enough to resist the Phoenix's intoxicating voice urging her to burn the world and everything in it?
