Every character in the storyline is incredibly well developed. The author gives more information about their backgrounds page by page. The combat scenes are described in such detail that you get the feeling that you are a spectator yourself. I am incredibly curious about the plot and the other two books in this trilogy.

Halfway through the book, extreme sexual violence appears in the storyline. It was so horrific that I stopped reading immediately. Such a waste of the fantastic world-building and storyline. I really don't understand why authors add horrific sexual violence to their storylines. Now, I see this happening regularly, but the sexual violence I read in Poppy War is the most intense I've read in a book so far..
