La guerra ha acabado.

Y una nueva guerra acaba de empezar.

Tres veces a lo largo de su historia, Nikan ha luchado por su supervivencia en las sangrientas Guerras de la Amapola. Aunque la tercera acaba de terminar, Rin no puede olvidar la atrocidad que cometió para salvar a su pueblo. Ahora está tratando de librarse de su culpa, de su adicción al opio y de las órdenes asesinas del ardiente Fénix, el dios vengativo que ha bendecido a Rin con su temible poder.

Aunque no quiere seguir viviendo, se niega a morir hasta vengarse de la Emperatriz, que traicionó a la que fue la tierra natal de Rin. Su única esperanza es unir fuerzas con el poderoso jefe militar del Dragón, que planea conquistar Nikan, derrocar a la Emperatriz y crear una nueva república.

Amazing!

In the violent Poppy Wars, Nikan has battled for its existence. Even with the conclusion of the third battle, warrior and shaman Rin will never forget the atrocity she did to save her people. Now, she is running from her own guilt, the vice-like grip of her opium addiction, and the deadly orders of the fiery Phoenix, the vengeful god who bestowed Rin's formidable power.

Over all, the book was worth it, but I also tried to find it on other platforms too, but I didn't get it. I think this should get published on other online platforms like Apple Books, Kindle, Pothi, and Shabd.in so it can reach more people.

Relax I will not reveal the spoiler part. haha! enjoy it!

War is ugly and cruel…

…and it makes monsters of people who might have been something better in another life.

The second book in the Poppy War Trilogy is very good, but also almost entirely devoid of light. That, in my opinion, makes this an excellent military fantasy. Too many other stories in the genre glorify war—or, at least, the heroes who fight in war. The Dragon Republic doesn't do that. Our hero is a terrible weapon of war burdened with trauma after trauma, and she is never given the opportunity of a good choice. It's all brutal and awful, and it feels so real.

Don't look to this story to give you the kind of feel-good battle of good versus evil that you'll find in the likes of Harry Potter. That sort of thing is for children; this story is for adults who know that the world of humankind is often anything …
