Is it worth reading Poppy War if I didn't like Babel all that much? My specific issues with Babel was that it was far too heavy handed.

Then probably no on Poppy Wars. I found all the war stuff really heavy handed, and seemed copy-pasted from Wikipedia page on the Rape of Nanking

Thanks for the response! Yea I didn't enjoy how heavy handed the anti-colonialism was in Babel so I'm guessing Poppy Wars is also the same.
