I’ll admit that after reading this series I’m done with war stories for a while, but the depth and detail of this fantasy world made my own personal discomfort well worth it. Highly recommend the whole series.

There are going to be words to describe how I feel about this book! It's epic and devastating and violent and heartbreaking.... and I loved it so much. I immediately wanted to start reading it again as soon as I finished, but my heart can't take that. I'm surprised by how invested I am in Rin - I don't like everything she does; sometimes I really hate the choices she makes, and there are times when I really don't like her - but I care so much. She has sacrificed and lost so much throughout this trilogy; it's not hard to understand her burning rage.
The ending completely gutted me - this entire trilogy is perfect.

This is the final book in the 'Poppy War' series, full of explosions, battles, shifting loyalties, all-consuming gods, and the toll that war takes both on the country and on the individual.
