ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Burning God" by R.F. Kuang is the third book in the Poppy War series. It follows Rin, a powerful and complex war leader, as she navigates a world of shifting alliances, betrayals, and the devastating consequences of war. She faces external enemies, as well as her internal demons and a loss of connection to her powers, all of which cause her to grapple with her own moral compromises. The story explores the corrupting nature of power, highlighting Rin's transformation as she becomes a ruthless leader. It also delves into themes of identity, the dehumanizing effects of war, and the clash of cultures and ideologies with the introduction of the Hesperians. The narrative blends military strategy with elements of shamanism, religion and mythology. The book depicts a world where the lines between good and evil are blurred, and where personal sacrifices are often demanded for the sake of survival.
