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…

5 stars for everything
Again impressed by Emily’s performance, I never once got confused between voices as she differentiates them SO WELL. Also I’m fully obsessed with this story, I don’t think I can ever turn back.

even better than the start
this book took everything good about the poppy war and increased it. I had no idea where this was going but was sure every payoff would be delightful, and it shattered even my highest expectations.

A great struggle.
The story concepts are great, the voice actor is excellent.. this story just drags and drags, flip flops between sides.
I finished it but it did feel like a chore.

A slightly disappointing sequel!
I did enjoy this book but I did have a lot of issues with the main character. She was ... frustrating, I think is the best word. Spends about 450 pages out of this 600 page book complaining, which is 100 pages too long in my opinion. The plot was much slower than in The Poppy War, which wasn't necessarily bad, but coupled with Rin as the main character made this book drag on forever. That being said, the ending was marvellous. I think I'll continue with the rest of the series.

Worthy Sequel
A brilliant sequel; though it aids the listener in cooling down after the climactic events of the previous book, it has its own interesting story. New and fascinating parts of the world are introduced, as well as history, and emerging character conflicts. Though the pacing is slower, TDR does not suffer at all from 'middle book syndrome', but instead shows the listener the psychological and physical effects of war on a character level, and the geopolitical changes that come from unexpected victories. A new setting (mostly) brings old characters together in scenarios that are at the same time nostalgic, and tragic. This is a given, but the god-to-human relationships are (still) both terrifying, and impressive.
