The History Behind ‘The Poppy War’ by R.F. Kuang
The Poppy War became the first notable series for R.F. Kuang as she fused historical fiction with fantasy. The series follows a young girl who chooses to become a soldier rather than be forced into an arranged marriage at fourteen.
Kuang understands the political scope and military strategy in the series because of her studies in the field. Rin possesses a thirst for knowledge because, for Rin, that is the ultimate power early on.
In a way, Rin parallels Kuang’s ability to retain all this information and usefully extract pieces that become relevant at any moment.
