Rin's story continues in this acclaimed sequel to The Poppy War--an epic fantasy combining the history of twentieth-century China with a gripping world of gods and monsters.
The war is over.
The war has just begun.
Three times throughout its history, Nikan has fought for its survival in the bloody Poppy Wars. Though the third battle has just ended, shaman and warrior Rin cannot forget the atrocity she committed to save her people. Now she is on the run from her guilt, the opium addiction that holds her like a vice, and the murderous commands of the fiery Phoenix--the vengeful god who has blessed Rin with her fearsome power.
Though she does not want to live, she refuses to die until she avenges the traitorous Empress who betrayed Rin's homeland to its enemies. Her only hope is to join forces with the powerful Dragon Warlord, who plots to conquer Nikan, unseat the Empress, and create a new republic.
But neither the Empress nor the Dragon Warlord are what they seem. The more Rin witnesses, the more she fears her love for Nikan will force her to use the Phoenix's deadly power once more.
Because there is nothing Rin won't sacrifice to save her country . . . and exact her vengeance.

If the first book was a tough read this one is tougher. In the sense that it's very detailed and the author does a great job with setting a picture through words. On to the next book
It was p slow in the beginning but by the end I couldn’t put it down. Crazy plot twists too.
Well written !! So good !! Totally appreciate this series - have recommended it to several friends !! An incredibly talented writer you are !!
This book has an incredible story line, but the absolutely grotesque descriptions of the atrocities committed in the book take away from the plot and make it so hard to read. I usually read a 600+ page book in 2-3 days, this one took me 9 days to read just for the sheer sadness it invoked every other page.
Excellent book. I have read all 3 books now and it’s one of my favorite trilogies. Kuang is forever an instant buy for me!
