The Burning God is by far the best book R.F. Kuang has written in her career so far.“Here’s a prophecy for you, she’d said. One will die. One will rule. And one will sleep for eternity.” My claim might sound like hyperbole to you, but I can’t help it, I’m genuinely astounded...

ARC provided by Harper Voyager1.) The Poppy War ★★★★2.) The Dragon Republic ★★★★★2.) The Drowning Faith ★★★★★ "Rin had spent so long hating how she felt when she burned, hating her fire and her god. Not anymore." The Poppy War trilogy is truly once in a lifetime and this conclusion was honestly a work of art all itself. This series is a military epic fantasy that is ownvoices and inspired from the authors family history and the stories she learned from them. Heavy themes o...

I worked harder than I ever have before to pull off the ending. I'm heartbroken to say goodbye. I'm so proud of how far I've come in my storytelling abilities–I really do believe TBG is the best thing I've ever written, and I hope you think so too. I can't wait to share this book with you all in November. <3

I love how the early reviews for this book range from "this was such a great book!" to "I'm but a shriveled husk of my former self. I will never meet happiness again. All therapy bills must be forwarded to R.F. Kuang."Can't wait.

This book broke me. I’m not sure how I can possibly encompass all the emotions this made me feel. All I can do is try. The Burning God felt like coming home. Not that it was wholesome or sweet or comfortable—definitely not. But it felt like coming home in that it was absolutely everything I could want in a book. After all this time spent searching, I have finally found another series that I can whole-heartedly love and recommend. After the events of The Dragon Republic, Rin joins the Southern Co...

The more i think about this conclusion the more i dislike it

Edit: the more I think about it, the more I hate it. This book ruined this series for me. Lowering it from a 2 star to 1 star. ———————————Well, this rating is awkward. I consider myself hollow, annoyed, irritable and meh. These are not emotions you want to be feeling when reading a book and completing a series. Especially a series I initially loved. This review will be all over the place, just like this book was.If you want to be that annoying person telling me I’m wrong for not having enjoyed t...

Guys, this was the happiest book ever!! Happy ending! Happy characters! Happy everything! Kuang couldn't have written it better! Everyone's happy, safe... I dont know why people are saying this is heartbreaking? If anything, it's heartwarming!My heart totally didn't feel like it was being ripped out of my chest and thrown into a shredder! I totally did not go to sleep crying and wake up again crying! I totally don't feel like I need someone to pay for my therapy bills!No, not at all.I'm comp...

i don't think i'll ever recover from this.this was perfect. this was so fucking perfect.oh fuck i'm crying again

It’s so much harder to stay alive. That doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to live. It means you’re brave. It's difficult for me to write a review for a book I enjoyed enough to like it but didn't love it as much as I thought I would. It's worse when that book was one of my most anticipated releases of the year. It's even worse when I stayed up until 4 AM finishing it only to then realize I would have preferred the beauty of sleep.Look, 3 stars for me means the book was good. It wasn't pe

— find this review and others on my blog4.5 starsTo any reader anxious about this epic finale, or intrigued enough to pick up book 1 for the first time: Good luck. The Burning God is the thrilling conclusion to the Poppy War trilogy, and when I say thrilling, I truly mean it. I felt like I was holding my breath the entire time I read it, so scared for what was going to happen yet unwilling to put the book down and have to wait another second. It was an exhilarating feeling to be engrossed in thi...

Fuck this.I knew there was no fixing things but seriously? *breathes in a bag* I’m not really happy with that ending but it probably makes sense in the grand scheme of things (not) 😬Rare photo of Rin talking to Kitay in this book:I have been dreading to write this review because I’m still conflicted about my feelings on this book. On one side I really liked it, on the other I was disappointed. I’ll try to put my jumbled thoughts in an order than makes sense.It pains me to say this, but I was bor...

The Burning God (The Poppy War,#3) by R.F. KuangA phenomenal and a tear-jerking conclusion of the series with more action-packed. The way Kuang reconciled Chinese mythology and fact history of Sino-Japanese War in the whole series was enthralling. Amazing character crafting as any may feel the characters' emotion, guilt, anxiety, triumph, rage. Besides dealing with humanity, eagerness to achieve power and the horrible aftermath of the war made the story so realistic. Profoundly unpredictable, th...

I don’t know where to start this review with because whatever I say, I don’t think it would do this book just. Kuang is a prodigy and I am pretty sure she will be one of the hugest names in fantasy in the years to come! How can someone my age write something this excellent like she has been writing books for decades. Kuang is al...

‘i am the force of creation. i am the end and the beginning. the world is a painting and i hold the brush. i am a god.’ rin has bled across the gradient from morally grey to the most vicious black. i knew the conclusion to this series would be unforgiving. it takes even the strongest characters and breaks them. it takes their hope for a better world and extinguishes it. and as i found myself reaching the final chapters, realising how this story would unfold in its ending, i couldnt help but t

Kuang is a ruthless Queen. Are you expecting closure? *evil laugh*There are too many things to discuss and I am emotionally unstable.You know what, I feel like I've said all I need to say for this series in my The Poppy War and The Dragon Republic reviews. Read those if you feel so inclined and still need a push to read this series or the other reviews because I need... err.. space.— overall thoughts: 4.5 —Admittedly, I had some problematic parts with the build up in the middle and how the Trife...
