In this episode we discuss The Poppy War chs. 8-9, finishing up Part I.

Rin takes a break, sees a puppet show, goes back to school, and becomes spiritually enlightened—in just two chapters! The end of Part I of TPW is chock full of theology, spirituality, lore, and politics. The tone of the book makes a big shift, but we’re all in.

Also, does Rin have any sort of concept of “the good life”? She has several pictures of what she doesn’t want, but does she have an idea of where her life is headed?

First part of our discussion of Part Two in two weeks!
