The Poppy War

I really enjoyed the gradual turn from tough school life to all out war. The pacing felt good. I understood all the motivations from individual characters despite it only being told from main character's view. My one qualm is sometimes her fears/convictions flip flop - she goes from wanting to utilize the gods, to fearing them, and then back to utilizing the gods. I know she's an unreliable narrator but not a shadow of doubt seemed to linger once she really jumped off the deep end. Overall still a great book I stayed up from 12am to 5am? due to the story.
