The Poppy Wars was beyond amazing! And the Audible is so good. The narrator does an excellent job at infusing her words with so much emotion. You can feel Rin's poison, rage, and her despair. I can't reccomend the audible enough. Especially for those who might now like it as much by reading it.

If you loved The Starless Sea, and you love flowery writing, please please read This Is How You Lose the Time War if you haven't yet. It's short and incredible. It's at the top with The Starless Sea in terms of my favorite books I've read this year.

I am currently reading Shorefall (after having devoured Foundryside) and I am loving it! The characters, the plots and the story are just so good! I read but did not finish The Poppy Wars right when it came out. I think both the switch between the first and second part of the book and the level of grim dark were too much for me at the time (I mean... Some scenes are stomach turning) but you'rz making me reconsider. I might pick it up and finish it.

If you're looking for fantasy kinda poetic books like The Starless Sea I strongly recommend This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amar El-Mohtar. Also The Poppy War is soooo good and the sequel The Dragon Republic is also amazing. The last one is definitly my most expected book of this year together with Addie Laurie.

No one ever, EVER talks about The City of Dreaming Books or any of Walter Moers's other awesome stories. He is hands down my favorite German author, except for maybe Cornelia Funke. Thanks for giving him a shout out!! I hope other people give his books a chance. They are so whimsical and funny; kind of like Douglas Adams without the space travel. I have read every book of his that has been translated into English and loved them all so much.
