Overview
Rin's story continues in this acclaimed sequel to The Poppy War--an epic fantasy combining the history of twentieth-century China with a gripping world of gods and monsters.
The war is over.
The war has just begun.
Three times throughout its history, Nikan has fought for its survival in the bloody Poppy Wars. Though the third battle has just ended, shaman and warrior Rin cannot forget the atrocity she committed to save her people. Now she is on the run from her guilt, the opium addiction that holds her like a vice, and the murderous commands of the fiery Phoenix--the vengeful god who has blessed Rin with her fearsome power.
Though she does not want to live, she refuses to die until she avenges the traitorous Empress who betrayed Rin's homeland to its enemies. Her only hope is to join forces with the powerful Dragon Warlord, who plots to conquer Nikan, unseat the Empress, and create a new republic.
But neither the Empress nor the Dragon Warlord are what they seem. The more Rin witnesses, the more she fears her love for Nikan will force her to use the Phoenix's deadly power once more.
Because there is nothing Rin won't sacrifice to save her country . . . and exact her vengeance.

An enthralling new fantasy world
Tim T. - 5 years 6 months agoAn exciting take on an alternate East/West conflict written from the Eastern perspective. This is fantasy that is different from the typical Tolkien pastiches. It would appeal to young adults and mature readers, though there is use of expletives that seem to come out of nowhere versus being organic to the plot. Overall a great experience in world building and sets you up eager to read what's next. If you want to be swept away to another world where magic is real and has its costs, re-enter the world with the Dragon Republic, book 2 of the Poppy Wars. I started with this book and want to read Book 1. The characters are appealing, and I'd like to know what happened before and what will happen next. #SpringPicks
