“It was the first time Rin had gotten a good look at the Mugenese outside the chaos of a melee, and she was disappointed by how very similar they looked to the Nikara. The slant of their eyes and the shape of their mouths were nowhere near as pronounced as the textbooks reported. Their hair was the same pitch-black as Nezha’s, their skin as pale as any northerner’s.
In fact, they looked more like Sinegardians than Rin and Altan did.
Aside from their language, which was more clipped and rapid than Sinegardian Nikara, they were virtually indistinguishable from the Nikara themselves.
It disturbed her that the Federation soldiers so closely resembled her own people. She would have preferred a faceless, monstrous enemy, or one that was entirely foreign, like the pale-haired Hesperians across the sea.”
— The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang (The Poppy War, #1)
@BEZORP ehe thank you, I am trying to figure out how this works, but I am excited 😊
You are right, the trilogy is pretty intense and very dark overall, especially in the most realistic aspects, which point towards parallels in Chinese history. It is really good and R F Kuang is very talented. I definitely recommend.

That being said: yes! I loved the whole trilogy very much. Have you read it?
