FANTASY BOOK REVIEW


'A wholly unique experience'
THE WASHINGTON POST


'R.F. Kuang's fresh approach to magic and hard-hitting story is a punch to the gut fantasy has needed for a long time. I can't wait for THE DRAGON REPUBLIC'
Peter V. Brett, bestselling author of The Demon Cycle


'Enthralling from start to finish ... I thought myself prepared. I was now. R.F. Kuang's debut is a masterful must-read, and I've no doubt the best is yet to come'
Nicholas Eames, author of KINGS OF THE WYLD


'A blistering, powerful epic of war and revenge that will captivate you to the bitter end'
Kameron Hurley, author of THE LIGHT BRIDAGE

Peter Newman, author of THE VAGRANT


'A powerful, emotional journey, compellingly written'
Adrian Tchaikovsky, award-winning author of THE CHILDREN OF TIME


'An original and engrossing tale of the coming of age of a talented young soldier amid the horrors of invasion and genocide'
Anna Stephens, author of GODBLIND


'I so enjoyed The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang ... It is all about survival, and how a person's will and determination can change the course of their life. I loved the central character, felt her pain and her far-too-brief moments of joy, and just loved how Kuang breathes fresh life into the warrior training school ... Highly recommended'
John Gwynne, author of MALICE
