goodreads • bookshop • amazon • book depository

for those of you who don’t know, I LOVE THE POPPY WAR. it destroyed me. and this would be my third time reading it. actually, since it’s already (almost) halfway through august and i’m (very) behind on publishing this blog post, i’m almost done with my reread. AND LEMME SAY. it’s even better the third time ;–; how? i don’t know either.

if you haven’t read it, now is your opportunity to suffer join us!!!! this is one of my all-time favorite books and honestly made me want to study east asian/chinese history. our discord has a lot of fun discussions so you won’t be alone to feel the pain. :~)

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