A brilliantly imaginative talent makes her exciting debut with this epic historical military fantasy, inspired by the bloody history of China’s 20th 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.
R.F. Kuang studies modern Chinese history. She has a BA from Georgetown University and is currently a graduate student in the United Kingdom on a Marshall Scholarship. The Poppy War is her debut novel.

Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Jade, Kekon's most prized resource, could make them rich - or give them the edge they'd need to topple their rivals.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Amazing start, great build up, ok ending
Loved the first half of the book. Great story with good character. The second half compared to the start fell a bit behind. Didn't like the main character but, I hope she is the way she is because she needs room to evolve in the next two books. Overall with the lovely audio performance it is a 4.5 star listening experiance.

Believable characters, overall captivating story.
I really enjoyed the flawed, believable characters of this book, as well as the interactions and emotional outbursts, that for once, were probable, given the character's backstory. No insufferable perfection, no easy, direct storylines, that we often see in stories of western culture heroins (with few bright exceptions). A few things could have been better explained (a sterilization/womb destruction seems to be on trend, without ever tackling the consequences of such procedures. maybe a menopausal heroin isn't as attractive?) Overall, i enjoyed the book and gladly bought the second part. Emily Zeller's performance is also very enjoyable.

Finally not a cookie-cutter hero/main character
I can't go into many details without spoilers but wow, this book blew me away. The story is incredibly well-paced, complex and hits hard when it means to. The story of Rin is fascinating, cruel, and quite tragic, and seeing Rin adapt and change throughout the novel is very well done her motivations at any point make sense and are understandable. She is a lovely protagonist to follow around and I was never bored. I read along while listening to the audiobook and devoured it in about two days. Highly recommend!

WOW!
Where to begin with this masterpiece? The characters are excellent and well developed! The mythology, magic system and world building are deep and interesting! The narration is spot on giving the proper weight to events and lets the characters come to life! The ONLY problem I have is the reveal of the main characters heritage taking away from her achievements and struggle a bit, but overall I'm seriously impressed here!
