Iman’s Reviews > The Poppy War > Status Update

I have had the extreme urge to stop reading this book at mark it as DNF since around 40%. It was so hard to get into and I’m afraid the lacing has not improved. The only reason I didn’t is because this was the first book of 2026, it’s safe to say I’m extremely disappointed.

I am yet to start this book however I did my mandatory search on TikTok, my research gleaned interesting results. Every review I watched spoke volumes, it is an extremely heavy read with sensitive themes and carries an extremely strong message. Considering this will be the first book I enter 2026 reading is a daunting thought, let’s hope it doesn’t put me in a book slump as I want to read 100 books this year!!
