The story revolves around the character of Rin, a war orphan living in a world much like China of yesteryear that has been adopted by abusive step-parents who have a high level of importance in the illegal sale of opium. THE POPPY WAR ( Amazon) is the first book in a planned trilogy by R.F. Got nothing but love for my local library. There are a couple other books like that in my to-read queue right now, but this was the one that took precedence because it was the first one I had free access to it. So I decided I’d better see what all the hubbub was about. A few months ago, there was just this rash of people talking about it in my feed and gushing about how beautiful it was, or what a great book it was. There’s a part of me that wonders if I’d have ever decided to pick up this book if I didn’t have a Twitter account.
