On this now.Aaroncupboard wrote:Finished The Poppy War this evening. It gathered a lot of positive buzz last year and was being called the debut of the year in fantasy. I have to say I can understand why. It sits firmly in the grim dark camp alongside Abercrombie and co but has a more Chinese historical background to it. It was very readable and very enjoyable - even when it covered some horrifically dark stuff ( which almost went into the ott realm ). The main idea behind the magic system ( involving drugs and gods ) was pretty cool too.
A very good debut and I will be very interested in how the series progresses.

I'd be prepared to give this a try though.
