“I have become something wonderful, she thought. I have become something terrible. Was she now a goddess or a monster? Perhaps neither. Perhaps both.”

“Children ceased to be children when you put a sword in their hands. When you taught them to fight a war, then you armed them and put them on the front lines, they were not children anymore. They were soldiers.”

not me adding this book to my tbr.........
Reading the summary it seems like a similar concept to The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon. Did anyone find that?
@Ellisse I read both and they’re actually quite different even though the general vibes are somewhat similar. The Poppy War is much more violent and has a lot of militar strategy/war and has a parallelism with modern Chinese history even though it’s a fantasy. The Priory of the Orange Tree is much more focused on fantasy elements and fits more the usual profile of a high-fantasy.
@Ellisse (both are absolutely amazing)
@ the windsofthenorth - ok awesome! Thanks for clarifying that, it sounds really interesting. Appreciate the heads up on the violence too. Thank you!!
ahhhhh i'm currently reading this! i'm taking my time tho i only read like 1 chapter a day and still i'm obsessed
... yeah. I mean, it's not a piece of cake, but totally worth it.
@ellisse I really liked this one & had great expectations about The Priory, but I didn't like it as much. What about you?
i emphasize this heavily
