About this deal

You may also all call me president of the Fang Runin defense and protection squad. I live my life for one sneaky snake, and it is her. Also, Kitay, my baby, will love and cherish and protect at all costs. Also, seeing the way that this world has changed him has broken me beyond repair, but his friendship with Rin means everything to me. Not at the way I was praying for his life throughout the last half of this book though. Jinzha leads a northern campaign. He wants to find the source of the poison. They run into Niang, who they went to school with. She has been putting Federation poison into pig bladders and sending them downstream. She’s angry. Kitay shoots her with a crossbow.

They believe in a singular and all-powerful deity, which means they cannot accept the truth of other gods. And when nations start to believe that other beliefs lead to damnation, violence becomes inevitable.” This is not an issue that’s unique to the Nikan Empire that the Hesperians encounter in The Burning God. In fact, every country that has been colonized either by America or another European country knows this struggle very well. The colonizers come in bringing modernization and medicine, but at what cost? The colonizers come in telling us our religions are nonsense and that their god is the only true one, but what then happens to our connections with our ancestors and culture? Eventually they make their way up to the lake. Lake Boyang. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the Empire’s fleet is ready and waiting. Chang En is leading the team. There’s a battle, and Feylen shows up and reveals he’s working for the Empress. He’s clearly quite scared of her. She will live! I’ve seen the worst! Remember Dolly, she was bumping her head against the wall when she was reading Colleen Hoover novels because they’re so emotional! R.F, Kuang. "The Dragon Republic". Library Journal.

Goodreads Summary:

After I got frozen and motionless, my loved ones (or my haters took the control of my keyboard and wrote their impressions after I read this book. I left it without editing, changing, deleting or adding anything!) Lila Garrott in Locus gave the novel a more critical review: "It's well executed for what it does, but it's a shame that Kuang chose to downplay the more original elements in favor of material that has been seen before. All of the novel's ambition seems to have gone into the worldbuilding and magic system and then not been allowed to affect the actual plot." [24] In his Wired commentary on fantasy tropes, Jason Kehe agreed that the material did not represent a "revolution" in the genre, but said that "Kuang manages to pierce through." [25] Translations [ edit ] The Dragon Republic is a tale of many things—festering anger and broken trust, learning to fight for hope and bearing failure’s inevitable rust, yes, but more than anything else, it is a tale of rankling inequity and unspeakable iniquity, of looking at the colour of one’s skin or the size of their head or the shape of their eyes, and deeming them lower, lesser, inhuman and primitive and stupid; of declaring a person chosen and evolved and another, unformed mud; of feeling righteous in reaching for what they have and carelessly trampling them beneath your shining heels.

Kitay makes Rin some wings, which are powers by heat from her fire powers. So now she can fly, which is pretty cool. Jinzha was killed in the lake battle and he was cooked into dumplings and presented to Vaisra. Honestly one of the most disturbing parts of the series so far. He saw a pale green light shining from the grotto floor. He saw faces, beautiful, but eyeless. Human faces embedded in the sand and coral, and an endless mosaic studded with silver coins, porcelain vases, and golden ingots—a bed of treasures that stretched on and on into the grotto as far as the light went. The Dragon Republic is a grimdark fantasy novel written by R. F. Kuang and published by HarperCollins. The book was published on August 6, 2019, as a sequel to The Poppy War.The Sorqan Sira says she can fix Rin and her fire powers. She performs a ritual, and Rin kills dream!Altan. He leaves a handprint on her abdomen. This ritual still hasn’t worked properly so Kitay becomes Rin’s anchor and they’re bound like the twins. If one of them dies, the other will die too, unless the bond is broken just before death. Kang, J.C. (2018-05-02). "R. F. Kuang Interview – The Poppy War". Fantasy-Faction . Retrieved 2018-05-12.
