The Poppy War Trilogy

“One of my favorite teens just gave me this book for my birthday, so far so good, it's a war story steeped in fantasy and magic, with roots in actual Chinese history. The violence of war is real and vividly descriptive in this book, so take care if that is a concern.”

“A remarkable and challenging series. These books linger. Not for everyone, but if it’s for you, you’ll know right away”

“Great story with a strong female lead, lots of adventure, and inspiration taken from Chinese mythology and culture. Entire series is insanely good.”
