Did someone in this thread review the Poppy War, or am I misremembering? I have many issues with that book that I find really hard to put into words. If no one has, I might take a second look at it, even though that would mean rereading it.

I had wanted to read it but upon skimming the excerpt it feels like another fantasy novel that has too many fantasy names and jargon which makes it a struggle to get into. Certainly not all fantasy works are like that, and sure that those that are more rooted in cultural context that's more familiar to the reader have an unfair advantage (with urban fantasy having the lowest barrier of entry), but it does seem harder to get into.
