If you were captivated by the cutthroat politics, backroom deals, and power struggles in A Little Hatred—think Savine’s machinations or the industrialists’ games—you’ll be riveted by Baru Cormorant’s relentless rise through the empire’s ranks. Dickinson delivers a masterclass in political intrigue, with every victory carrying a personal cost.

If you were drawn to the way characters like Leo, Savine, and Vick are transformed by war, ambition, and betrayal in A Little Hatred, The Poppy War will enthrall you. Rin’s harrowing journey from student to soldier is a raw, unflinching exploration of how violence and ambition reshape the soul.

If you relished the interplay among A Little Hatred's sprawling cast—each with their own ambitions and secrets—The Blade Itself assembles a similarly memorable group.
