À propos de cet audio
The exciting end to The Poppy War trilogy, R. F. Kuang’s acclaimed, award-winning epic fantasy that combines the history of twentieth-century China with a gripping world of gods and monsters, to devastating, enthralling effect.
After saving her nation of Nikan from foreign invaders and battling the evil Empress Su Daji in a brutal civil war, Fang Runin was betrayed by allies and left for dead.
Despite her losses, Rin hasn’t given up on those for whom she has sacrificed so much—the people of the southern provinces and especially Tikany, the village that is her home. Returning to her roots, Rin meets difficult challenges—and unexpected opportunities. While her new allies in the Southern Coalition leadership are sly and untrustworthy, Rin quickly realizes that the real power in Nikan lies with the millions of common people who thirst for vengeance and revere her as a goddess of salvation.
Backed by the masses and her Southern Army, Rin will use every weapon to defeat the Dragon Republic, the colonizing Hesperians, and all who threaten the shamanic arts and their practitioners. As her power and influence grows, though, will she be strong enough to resist the Phoenix’s intoxicating voice urging her to burn the world and everything in it?

Since I listened to the audiobooks, I have to say that Emily Woo Zeller is an amazing voice actor. There is so much emotion in her voice & she brings the characters come to life. Pure perfection.

Rin's character arc has been filled with complications and challenge. She remains fierce and dedicated to her cause, no matter the cost. She is an interesting paradox of traits, so even when I disagreed with her choices, I understood them and remained mostly empathetic toward her. She has always been morally grey and I found that aspect of her to be particularly prevalent in this finale, where it was needed most.
Her relationships with other characters, both enemies and allies, remain equally complex. They each complement Rin in different ways and lived up to their own arcs, even if their role was relatively small at some points.
The action and world building are stronger than ever, with the stakes and danger fully realized. I appreciate the defeats and victories in equal measure, because it means that nothing is easy for the characters and it adds to the drama. And there is plenty of drama.
THE BURNING GOD is emotionally heavy by the end, and it was interesting to see the fallout of the final battle once it had played out. Nothing was simple and I didn't expect things to go the way they did. Still, I think it was a good choice to have the plot play out this way, even if it extended the book's length in some obvious ways.
THE POPPY WAR trilogy is a heart-wrenching and excellent series that has powerful and important messages in it. I loved exploring this historical fantasy, going on truly dangerous journeys, and following characters dedicated to a cause, willing to fight for it no matter how hard or how painful. It's an inspiring read, and I recommend the series for fans of dark, emotional fantasy epics.
Emotionally Heavy Finale

The story around her is well woven but comes to an abrupt end that seems a bit rushed.
A difficult end to the story

I am however a bit disappointed at how it ended.
it’s just I wish we got more time to explore the world, pantheon and the characters that are introduced about 3/4 through the book.
A bit disappointing

Grim dark isn’t usually for me, but there are some gimdark stories that I deeply enjoy amd value. The first two books of The Poppy War were solidly in that company until I got to this book.
Rin’s character development was all over the place and yet, somehow, didn’t develop at all? She was a character I cared about and was invested in, but this final book made me not care about her, which is so frustrating because I shouldn’t be responding to this story with apathy, with just a lack of emotion.
It’s okay that Rin isn’t a good person, that isn’t the problem I have. It’s that we knew this was likely to end with the Phoenix destroying everything in Rin’s life, and I should care about that! I should care about the ramifications of colonialism and western imperialism and eugenics have in this world and the fear Rin feels when she thinks about the Hesperian threat to her and her nation.
I should care about the dire situation the people of Nikan are in at this point directly because of the years of war, but the execution of this entire book just didn’t do the job for me.
An Unsatisfying Conclusion
