About this listen

The searing follow-up to 2018’s most celebrated fantasy debut – THE POPPY WAR.

Rin is on the run…

Haunted by the atrocity she committed to save her people, addicted to opium, and driven by the murderous commands of Phoenix, the vengeful god who has blessed Rin with her fearsome power.

Rin’s only reason for living is to get revenge on the traitorous Empress who sold her homeland, Nikan, to her enemies.

With no other options, Rin joins forces with the powerful Dragon Warlord, who has a plan to conquer Nikan, unseat the Empress, and create a new Republic. She throws herself into his war.

After all, making war is all she knows how to do…

Now I am eager for the third book. if it's half as good as the book 2, then this Saga will be memorable.

excellent second book.

I enjoy the books but find Rin the heroine hard to like, she is inconsistent and lacks wisdom to be an admirable heroine. She is annoyingly faulty as a character

The the Heroine is not believable in book 2

This was definitely better than the first book. Brilliant performance by Emily Woo Zeller - her story telling made me push through and start The Dragon Republic.

Worth continuing this series

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Whilst i enjoyed the poppy war i found it to be a little disjointed and unfocused. The Dragon Republic rectified these issues for me as the story flowed better and was thematically tighter.
I particularly enjoyed the way Rin's character developed in this book and the greater depth given to some of the other characters.
The plot is great with some very interesting political machinations and character relationships.
This is the best book of any genre that i"ve read in a long time and so much better than what the vast majority other fantasy authors have to offer.
Very highly recommended.

Better than The Poppy War

Again hardly slept to listen to it in (almost) one sitting! Great plot twists and turns, and the end left me gutted!!

When is the next one coming out?!?
