The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang

November 27, 2020 • Erin Rockfort & Matt Thomas • Episode 15

Welcome back to the deeply engrossing world of The Poppy War! Join us as we pick up with the sequel to 2018's breakout fantasy hit, and reconnect with Rin and the country of Nikan. Here we follow as she ends up part of a revolutionary movement towards democracy (maybe), and draw comparisons to some of the real-life inspiration from the story, the Chinese Civil War.

Note: we recommend listening to our episode covering The Poppy War first!

CW for non-graphic references to war crimes, genocide, rape, cannibalism
