Synopsis "Poppy war (The Poppy War) (Book 1) "

Winner of the Reddit Fantasy Award for Best Debut 2018 'The best fantasy debut of 2018' - WIRED A brilliantly imaginative epic fantasy debut, inspired by the bloody history of China's twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic. When Rin aced the Keju - the test to find the most talented students in the Empire - it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn't believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin's guardians, who had hoped to get rich by marrying her off; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free from a life of servitude. That she got into Sinegard - the most elite military school in Nikan - was even more surprising.But surprises aren't always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Fighting the prejudice of rival classmates, Rin discovers that she possesses a lethal, unearthly power - an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism.Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of psychoactive substances and a seemingly insane teacher, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive - and that mastering these powers could mean more than just surviving school. For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second.And while most people calmly go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away...

Sobre el libro: es uno de mis favoritos, algo fuerte pero es una historia fascinante con personajes grises. Sobre el envío: llegó todo ok y antes del tiempo que me habían indicado al inicio.

Libro muy recomendado y es decir de ver por qué. Muy interesante y con buena narración, un universo muy rico con similitudes a la cultura china y de Vietnam. Muy difícil dejar de pensar en él o dejar de leer. Definitivamente leeré los que siguen.

Lo estoy terminando y la verdad que viene bastante bien. Hacia la segunda mitad se da un giro muy oscuro, pero de manera orgánica y esperable. Mas allá de eso la historia es mas que interesante y fresca.
