“I have without doubt this find yourself being the very best dream debut of the entire year […] I have absolutely no doubt that [Kuang’s] name will become up there with famous brands Robin Hobb and N.K. Jemisin.” — Booknest

A brilliantly imaginative skill makes about The Poppy Battle: A Novel her exciting debut with this epic historical army fantasy, inspired by the bloody history of China’s twentieth hundred years 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 check to find the most talented youth to understand in the Academies-it was a shock to everyone: towards the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could move without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who believed they’d finally have the ability to marry her off and additional their criminal enterprise; and to Rin herself, who noticed she was finally free from the servitude and despair that got made up her daily lifestyle. That she experienced Sinegard-the most elite military college in Nikan-was a lot more surprising.

But surprises aren’t usually good.

Because being truly a dark-skinned peasant young lady in the south is not an easy matter 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 artwork of shamanism. Discovering the depths of her present with the help of a seemingly crazy teacher and psychoactive chemicals, Rin discovers that gods longer thought dead have become very much alive-and that mastering control over those power could mean a lot more than just surviving college.

For as the Nikara Empire reaches peacefulness, the Federation of Mugen even now lurks across a small sea. The militarily advanced Federation occupied Nikan for many years following the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the next. And while a lot of people are complacent to start their lives, several are aware that a Third Poppy Battle is a spark away .

Rin’s shamanic powers may be the only way to save her people. But as she finds out more approximately the god that has chosen her, the vengeful Phoenix, she fears that winning the war may cost her mankind . . . and that it could already be as well late.
