One of Time Magazine's 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time

"I have no doubt this will end up being the best fantasy debut of the year...I have absolutely no doubt that [Kuang's] name will be up there with the likes of Robin Hobb and N.K. Jemisin." -- Booknest

From #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface, the brilliantly imaginative debut of R.F. Kuang: an epic historical military fantasy, inspired by the bloody history of China's twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic, in the tradition of Ken Liu's Grace of Kings and N.K. Jemisin's Inheritance Trilogy.

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 in this grimdark fantasy that 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.

The only thing that works for me
Size: 50 count (Pack of 1)
I love these face wipes so much. I cannot use soap due to all the problems I have with my skin. It's so finicky.. I have rosacea with painful P&P and also flare ups of adult acne. I take a med to keep my oil production under control, but that means I end up with a few flakey patches on my cheeks. These are the ONLY face wipes that I've found that not only remove almost all (more on that in a moment) of the makeup I'm wearing, but also seem to help keep my redness under control. I've tried Aveeno Ultra-Calming wipes which profess to help with redness and even those are way too harsh for my skin. The Aveeno wipes make my face sting horrible, leave a greasy residue, and have a smell that is not very pleasant. The Simple wipes take off WAY more makeup than those, or any other wipe, I've tried and leave my skin feeling actually clean and calm. The only routine that I've found that keeps my skin looking decent is to use these to remove the majority of my makeup and then follow up with Simple Micellar Water on a cotton pad to remove any further traces. I follow that up with a few spritzes of (rosewater is supposed to help with redness too) and then moisturize with - which doesn't have SPF (which makes my rosacea flare up). It sounds like a lot of steps, but it takes me 3 minutes, tops. I'd just like to add too for those saying that these don't remove waterproof mascara - well, yeah. I would want neither a "gentle" face wipe that was harsh enough to remove waterproof mascara, nor a mascara that was wimpy enough to be removed with a gentle wipe... that would mean it would also come off every time my eyes watered or even just blinked. Just use an oil-free eye makeup remover before using these.

Work well, no bad skin reactions
Size: 50 count (Pack of 1), Size: 50 count (Pack of 1)
I can't believe what a great deal these are! It's less than $7 (as an add-on buy) for two packets. I had already bought this brand once before so I knew they'd work for me. They remove make-up pretty well. I don't think they are the very best of all time, but they are up there with the other brands I've tried. This product states that it has no artificial dyes or perfumes. These points are really important. Any fragrance that is added to beauty products can irritate your skin, which has happened to me in the past. I do detect the slightest scent, though. It's actually rather pleasant. I think there's still a slight residue of mascara left over after using the wipes pretty thoroughly, so I only gave them 4 stars. Your experience may differ as the packaging promises to remove all makeup residue. Maybe I'm not using them properly? I have very sensitive skin and I didn't break out or otherwise react poorly to these. They do the job as well as I think can be expected for facial wipes so I bought them again. I really hope the claims to being simply formulated are true. I have a healthy scepticism of the beauty industry. My experience with these wipes has been positive so I will take it on faith that they live up to their advertising as far as having no unnecessary additives. One more thing: I like the idea of the added vitamins. It always cracks me up when facial cleansers advertise the addition of helpful vitamins. How can they help when you're immediately rinsing them back off your face? The addition of any vitamins to regular liquid cleansers is just a waste. They do nothing for you. That being said, when they are added to facial wipes, they are spread on your skin and stay there, since you don't generally rinse after using wipes. In this way of cleaning, you may actually be reaping some benefit from the added vitamins.
