Description
Solo un desiderio la spinge a non vuole morire prima di essersi vendicata dell'Imperatrice, che ha tradito la sua patria vendendola ai nemici. E l'unico modo per farlo è allearsi con il signore di Lóng, discendente dell'ultimo Imperatore Drago, che vuole conquistare il Nikan, deporre l'Imperatrice e instaurare una repubblica.
Né l'Imperatrice, né il signore di Lóng, però, sono ciò che sembrano. E più Rin va avanti, più si rende conto che per amore del Nikan dovrà usare ancora una volta il potere letale della Fenice. Non c'è niente che Rin non sia disposta a sacrificare per salvare il suo paese, e ottenere la sua vendetta. Così si getta di nuovo nella lotta. Perché in fondo lottare è ciò che sa fare meglio.

RF Kuangs writing is really hit or miss for me, and unfortunately the poppy war had a great plot but just really poor execution, and the main character was just truly unbearable
“People will seek to use you or destroy you.”From the start, this book felt a little different from the first book. It wasn’t necessarily bad, but it was a bit surprising, which I think came from the fact that this one is a lot slower than the first book and that I got to learn so much about the rest of the characters, especially Chagain and Qara, which I will say was especially surprising on their part. Rin struggles a lot more with her addiction and the power of the Phoenix in this book, but she quickly learns to control it when she starts working on the side of the Dragon Province, for Nheza’s family. Here, we also see a deeper relationship build with Nheza and Rin, when we find out that Nheza is still alive, but not deep enough for it to spark any romance within the book or to turn it into that romantasy I was hoping I’d get. From beginning to end, the entire book was a long, stretched journey of one war ending and another one rising, where Rin and the Dragon Province is the face of it. There was a lot of annoying points from the Hisperians and their religion, but I think it really brought the book together and showed a lot more struggles that people can go through in war when they need to make alliances, than simply getting them easily. But I must say, I was completely surprised that Nheza’s father ended up betraying Rin in the end and hate how Huang has made it so that Kitay becomes a little power hungry in this book, where we don’t know where his conscience lies or what he truly wants. I also hate how all of Cike dies in this book…especially Ramsa. Overall, 4.5/5
