Altan, her commander wants her to learn to control her power at will and call on the phoenix whenever she wants. He asked her to not fall into the lure of phoenix’s power because it always comes with a cost. Jiang’s lessons on how to talk with gods was to show her what she had to stay away from. As a soldier of the cike, she finds herself constantly torn between what, her master jaing taught her and what the commander expects of her. Rin’s character dynamic changes over the progression of war against the federation. The last point I took, when she was afraid and scared of the upcomimg war at the academy’s gate and how it wasnt what it said in the legends has changed and taken a complete180 or is the poppy seeds speaking It was beautiful” referencing to the sight of the enemy shipments going up in flames and soldiers dying. The cike commander, atlan is brilliant strategist, even at bad odds they seem to be crushing the enemies. She just choked Down Poppy seeds to call on the phoenix god, poppy seeds also cause hallucinating effects. ![]() Point is they are fighting ot steep odds against the mughen soldiers. Okay, rin is fighting with the cike, or the thirteenth division or the empress’s assains or the freak squad or the bizzare children, they have a lot of names. Jiang’s a dramatic bitch, try to convince me otherwise. She wants to defend her city, but we see her scared of dying and doubting her abilities. But rin is a war orphan herself, we get to see a very different and real take on violence. The protagonist, Jorg ancarth says something like ‘war is beautiful, those who say otherwise are on the losing side’ now he was a rueful 15 year old boy hinged on vengeance for his family. Okay, quite a contrast to the prince of thorns book by mark Lawrence. The poppy war manages to make war strategies interesting, because a person like me easily doses off when war planning are going on. ![]() but if I think like them? I see why they won’t, nikara has been at war for ages, people do not care about anything but putting their next meal on plates. The book has elements of war set in brutal tones, the writing style offers raw glimpses of what happens to a nation like nikara constantly at war crumbling economy, failed unification of the country front and also what I think is an important part of culture, faith in higher power, people do not believe in gods here. If I were to meet most of the characters on this list, I would end up dead.Ĭurrently reading.I tried taking notes while reading for the first time. I'm a slut for cruel female protagonists with tragic pasts, and that's exactly what Adelina is. and most importantly, she has amazing fanart. ![]() ❧ Ead Duryan ( The Priory of the Orange Tree)Ĭredit: strong, loyal, brave, intelligent, perfect. I don't know if I want to be her or be with her. Specifically, the version of her character played by Kiera Knightley in 2005. ![]() ❧ Elizabeth Bennet ( Pride and Prejudice) She's ruthless, violent, and not entirely sane, but I love her nonetheless. That should be enough inspiration to start it. If you haven't read Gideon the Ninth yet, what are you doing with your life? Just look at how hot the main character is. ❧ Delilah Bard ( A Darker Shade of Magic) She could murder me with those knives and I'd say thank you. I'd give up my firstborn to eat waffles with her.
