Review:

Poppy was a fast-paced book, although it did "lag" at some points, it did pick back up relevantly quickly. Poppy, the unseelie female warrior, is not really the "best-liking" character in the beginning, but the author does a very good job of showcasing her "growth" as a character. You definitely start feeling for Poppy throughout the book. I give this book 3 stars, mainly just because the ending definitely leaves you hanging, and it's not fully clear WHY it's ended there. But overall, it was a good read and I enjoyed it.
