Nezha is now scarred and it’s really, really sad. He takes Rin to see his father, the Dragon Warlord, who wants to introduce democracy to the Empire and turn it into a Republic. Rin argues at first but then realises she should probably comply with him. He’ll give her money and an army, and she’ll be able to take down the Empress. You may also all call me president of the Fang Runin defense and protection squad. I live my life for one sneaky snake, and it is her. Also, Kitay, my baby, will love and cherish and protect at all costs. Also, seeing the way that this world has changed him has broken me beyond repair, but his friendship with Rin means everything to me. Not at the way I was praying for his life throughout the last half of this book though. Jiang makes the wall collapse but the general survives. He stabs Nezha and Rin taps into her Phoenix powers to save herself. The Poppy War was a 2018 Nebula Award nominee, [11] and was named one of the best books of the year by several publications and organizations, including The Washington Post, [12] Time, [13] The Guardian, [14] Paste, [15] [16] Vulture, [17] Bustle, [18] and The Verge.

I’m not sure if I love or hate that Kuang can take glorious concepts such as ethereal worlds and gods and a revolution, and drag them down to earth so viciously that they turn into tangible, worldly, manageable affairs of everyday life. It’s rather frustratingly admirable, I admit. The world is chaotic and war is fundamentally unpredictable and at the end of the day you don’t know who will be the last man standing. You don’t know anything going into a battle. You only know the stakes.”Nezha saw a huge dark shape—something muscled and coiled like a serpent—before a massive wave rose above him and slammed him facedown into the water.
The world-building has also moved further beyond Nikara and the Mugenese federation. The new race, Hesperian, came into play here. Hesperian is a race of Westerners, most likely an allusion Germany during World War II, and their arrival brought technologies, arquebuses, airships, and more expansion to the world-building. Not only was the world-building expanded, but Kuang also provided revelations and more in-depth lore to the history of her world. Rin spends the holidays at Kitay’s estate. There’s a parade and she spots the Empress for the first time. The war has ended, at long last—but in its wake, another begins. In R. F. Kuang’s sequel to The Poppy War, the citizens of the Nikara Empire’s southern provinces are no longer battling for survival against an invading force. Now, they set sail north to defeat their former leader, Empress Su Daji, and build a new, democratic government. Rin, a trained warrior, and her fellow shamans also take their place on the warships: though Rin might once have been content to see the old system (and the traitor at its head) burn, she is swayed by the prospect of helping to create a more just and more unified future for the provinces. But Rin is not just a soldier—she’s also the provinces’ most powerful, most incendiary and most unpredictable weapon. The story Kuang weaves around Rin and her battle-hardened comrades-in-arms in The Dragon Republic builds upon the reputation Kuang earned with her debut as one of contemporary fantasy’s most promising writers. The final book in the trilogy, The Burning God, is due in November. —Cate Matthews Rin heads to Khurdalain, where the Cike are camped out.
