The Poppy War pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
When Rin aced the Keju, the Empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to learn at the Academies, it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who believed they’d finally be able to marry her off and further their criminal enterprise; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free of the servitude and despair that had made up her daily existence. That she got into Sinegard, the most elite military school in Nikan, was even more surprising.
But surprises aren’t always good.
Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Targeted from the outset by rival classmates for her color, poverty, and gender, Rin discovers she possesses a lethal, unearthly power—an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of a seemingly insane teacher and psychoactive substances, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive—and that mastering control over those powers could mean more than just surviving school.
For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The militarily advanced Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most of the people are complacent to go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away . . .
Rin’s shamanic powers may be the only way to save her people. But as she finds out more about the god that has chosen her, the vengeful Phoenix, she fears that winning the war may cost her humanity . . . and that it may already be too late.
Rebecca F. Kuang is a Chinese-American fantasy writer.
挺失望的吧。前面大段的孟子庄子乱七八糟的中国人名草船借箭地沟油等出现让我一度非常尴尬。后面说服自己接受这个设定但是情节真的不太行,文笔也是。我觉得年轻作者的通病就是积累不够,导致对人对事对冲突的描写都显得很无力。历史和神话不是生搬硬套,一个ABC对中国文化的理解难道就止于此了?
评分3.5 没想到中国元素大乱炖产生的化学效果还是挺有意思的 不过这文笔剧情节奏 槽点无数 这种设定原以为会更精彩 不过没办法了谁叫人家只是处女作呢?不能要求太高是不是 很喜欢Rin 会继续读下去的

评分一言难尽的书。作为华裔搬运这么多中国历史元素凑一个元素之间都不搭噶的玄幻故事,是对欧美国家的降维打击还是本身就没搞清楚历史?说起虚构的故事也是平庸的不行,感觉国内某网站的修仙小说都比他好看。这么多国外博主推荐,你们老外这么好骗?
