Winner of the Reddit Fantasy Award for Best Debut 2018
‘The best fantasy debut of 2018’ – WIRED
A brilliantly imaginative epic fantasy debut, inspired by the bloody history of China’s twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic.
When Rin aced the Keju – the test to find the most talented students in the Empire – 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 had hoped to get rich by marrying her off; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free from a life of servitude. 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. Fighting the prejudice of rival classmates, Rin discovers that 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 psychoactive substances and a seemingly insane teacher, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive – and that mastering these 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 Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most people calmly go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away…

KlogNervepirrendeUfatteligtTankevækkendePage-turnerUforudsigeligDenne anmeldelse indeholder INGEN spoilers, men hvis gå helt "blind" til bogen er det en klar anbefaling herfraWaow, sikke en debut af R.F. KuangSat i en fantasy-middelalderlig verden med kinesisk og japansk inspiration, fra både legender og myter samt historiske begivenheder. Med et stort, men håndgribeligt, liste af karaktere, er det nærmest utroligt at ingen af disse føles udefineret eller efterladt af forfatteren. Alle har formål, noget de vil have eller noget de leder efter. Veldefineret og flerdimensionelle. Tempoet er, til tider, hurtigere ens hvad man forventer af en episk Fantasi-fortælling men det føles aldrig forhastet. Tværtimod er det befriende at springe nogle intervaller over, hvor andre fantasi-bog-serier (Game Of Thrones!) kunne bruge sider på minutiøst at beskrive karakteres samtaler, tager 'The Poppy War' en anden, mere læservenlig, tilgang. Ikke siden "Det Gyldne Kompas" og "Game Of Thrones" har en verden følt så levende. En kæmpe anbefaling herfra 🙏

UfatteligtTankevækkendePage-turnerUforudsigeligEn bog der tegner et ægte og nuanceret billede af hvad krig er, med et spændende tvist af magi.

Why does a well written book need to be performed? Why can you not just have someone read it aloud without dramatizing. It devaluates and distracts from the book content that someone is screaming their way through it. Such a shame. I was really looking forward to this one.

UfatteligtPage-turnerUforudsigelig4,75⭐Giver den ikke 5 stjerner for tror ikke at jeg vil lytte til den igen. Men wow den er god. Den er super unik og med nogle plottwists jeg slet ikke ser komme. Man ved ikke selv, hvem man skal holde med eller stole på.Oplæseren er fantastisk! Kan klart anbefale! Super god!

NervepirrendeTristUfatteligtPage-turnerUforudsigeligEn velskreven og makaber historie i et univers af krig, død, ødelæggelse, opium, afhængighed, socialt pres og svære valg. Fra starten var jeg grebet af den unge kvindes beslutsomhed og ofre for at nå sine mål. Historien er ikke for sarte sjæle, og er en brutal fortælling der ikke altid tilgodeser vores hovedperson. Den minder ikke om en bog jeg har læst før, virkelig fantastisk.
