My first Book Update, where I will discuss my likes and dislikes of The Poppy War trilogy. [WARNING: SPOILERS IN THIS EPISODE]. I will go over things about what I liked about the book such as the setting, quotes, Rin as a character, etc. I do have a quite a bit to rant about what I don't like as the second and third book are my least favourite. Overall, I do feel as though I wasted my time reading the series.
