Reviews
The book starts as an epic bildungsroman, and just when you think it can't get any darker, it does [...] Kuang pulls from East Asian history, including the brutality of the Second Sino-Japanese war, to weave a wholly unique experience., If you like dark adult fantasy then check out this masterpiece by grimdark's newest and perhaps darkest daughter., The narrative is an impactful, impressive symphony of words that grant life to this incredible morality tale. Setting the stage for an epic fantasy is an understandably enormous undertaking, but Kuang does an exceptional job of world and character building., The book kicks arse, and I couldn't put it down. It's a cracking debut, and one I recommend without reservation., An original and engrossing tale of the coming of age of a talented young soldier amid the horrors of invasion and genocide., A young woman's determination and drive to succeed and excel at any cost runs into the horrors of war, conflict and ancient, suppressed forces in R. F. Kuang's excellent debut novel, The Poppy War., The Poppy War was a fun, engrossing, journey to a world I wish I could visit and a school I wish I could attend. With its strong characters, interesting world building, and intriguing plot it is a great read that I would recommend to anyone., This novel has already rocketed up to the top of my list of favorite fantasy reads of all time. It was everything I wanted and more., If you have read and enjoyed George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, or Sabah Tahir's An Ember in the Ashes then you are likely to enjoy this., [THE POPPY WAR] feels entirely immersive and rich in a way that kind of sucks you in [...] It's a treasure trove., A complex, sprawling, ambitious novel, part coming of age and part tragedy of power, that uses motifs and influences from the 20th century. It reminds me tonally of Lara Elena Donnelly's Amberlough and Joe Abercrombie's Half a King, [and] in setting of K. Arsenault Rivera's The Tiger's Daughter., I have no doubt this will end up being the best fantasy debut of the year [...] I have absolutely no doubt that [Kuang's] name will be up there with the likes of Robin Hobb and N.K. Jemisin., "A blistering, powerful epic of war and revenge that will captivate you to the bitter end." - Kameron Hurley, author of The Stars are Legion "A thrilling, action-packed fantasy of gods and mythology...The ambitious heroine's rise from poverty to ruthless military commander makes for a gripping read, and I eagerly await the next installment." - Julie C. Dao, author of Forest of a Thousand Lanterns "In The Poppy War, RF Kuang draws on history and myth to tell a relentlessly unforgiving story of war, vengeance, power and madness, with larger-than-life characters that evoke sympathy and rouse terror. Brace yourself." - Fonda Lee, award-winning author of The Green Bone Saga "A young woman's determination and drive to succeed and excel at any cost runs into the horrors of war, conflict and ancient, suppressed forces in R. F. Kuang's excellent debut novel, The Poppy War." - The Skiffy and Fanty Show "If you have read and enjoyed George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, or Sabah Tahir's An Ember in the Ashes then you are likely to enjoy this." - Sammy's Shelf This Summer's Hottest New Books For Every Type of Reader - Popsugar "Kuang ambitiously begins a trilogy that doesn't shy away from the darkest sides of her characters, wrapped in a confectionery of high-fantasy pulp. [...] The future of Rin in this world may appear quite dark, but that of the series seems bright indeed." - New York Daily News "This isn't just another magical, fantasy world with artificially fabricated stakes. Rin's journey and the war against the Federation feel incredibly urgent and powerful [...] R.F. Kuang is one of the most exciting new authors I've had the privilege of reading." - The Roarbots "The best fantasy debut of 2018...This year's Potter." - Wired "A complex, challenging, and incredibly ambitious novel." - Vulture (The 10 Best Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books of 2018) "This novel has already rocketed up to the top of my list of favorite fantasy reads of all time. It was everything I wanted and more." - The BiblioSanctum "Debut novelist Kuang creates an ambitious fantasy reimagining of Asian history populated by martial artists, philosopher-generals, and gods [...] This is a strong and dramatic launch to Kuang's career." - Publishers Weekly "I have no doubt this will end up being the best fantasy debut of the year [...] I have absolutely no doubt that [Kuang's] name will be up there with the likes of Robin Hobb and N.K. Jemisin." - Booknest "The Poppy War is a masterful piece of fiction." - S. Qiouyi Lu for the B&N Sci-fi & Fantasy Blog "[The Poppy War is] strikingly grim military fantasy that summons readers into an East Asian--inspired world of battles, opium, gods, and monsters. Fans of Ken Liu's The Grace of Kings will snap this one up." - Library Journal (starred review) "The "year's best debut" buzz around this one was warranted; it really is that good." - B&N Sci-fi and Fantasy Blog "The book kicks arse, and I couldn't put it down. It's a cracking debut, and one I recommend without reservation." - Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviews "Battles. Bloodshed. Drugs. Amazing, amazing characters. Read it!" - Peng Shepherd, author of The Book of M

Synopsis
"I have no doubt this will end up being the best fantasy debut of the year ...] I have absolutely no doubt that Kuang's] name will be up there with the likes of Robin Hobb and N.K. Jemisin." -- Booknest A Library Journal, Paste Magazine, Vulture, BookBub, and ENTROPY Best Books of 2018 pick Washington Post "5 Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Novel of 2018" pick A Bustle "30 Best Fiction Books of 2018" pick A brilliantly imaginative talent makes her exciting debut with this epic historical military fantasy, inspired by the bloody history of China's twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic, in the tradition of Ken Liu's Grace of Kings and N.K. Jemisin's Inheritance Trilogy. When Rin aced the Keju--the Empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to learn at the Academies--it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn't believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin's guardians, who believed they'd finally be able to marry her off and further their criminal enterprise; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free of the servitude and despair that had made up her daily existence. That she got into Sinegard--the most elite military school in Nikan--was even more surprising. But surprises aren't always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Targeted from the outset by rival classmates for her color, poverty, and gender, Rin discovers she possesses a lethal, unearthly power--an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of a seemingly insane teacher and psychoactive substances, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive--and that mastering control over those powers could mean more than just surviving school. For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The militarily advanced Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most of the people are complacent to go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away . . . Rin's shamanic powers may be the only way to save her people. But as she finds out more about the god that has chosen her, the vengeful Phoenix, she fears that winning the war may cost her humanity . . . and that it may already be too late., One of Time Magazine's 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time "I have no doubt this will end up being the best fantasy debut of the year...I have absolutely no doubt that [Kuang's] name will be up there with the likes of Robin Hobb and N.K.

- j***v (90)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufI ordered 10 Andre Norton books in "Good" condition, and I'd say they were all in at least "Good" or better, and they were a great price! The books were packaged very safely in bubble wrap and made it to my door right on time. Overall, great seller and great buying experience!
- i***i (500)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGreat seller, item as described if not better. It was a great value as I was not only buying the book I remember, but it is long out of print in this format. The item arrived packaged very well and protected, and the shipping was reasonable. I would definitely buy from again.The Portable Nietzsche by Walter Kaufmann (1st Viking Edition/19th Printing) (Nr. 297112172529)
