In 'The Poppy War', one of the main themes is war and its consequences. This is also seen in other Chinese fantasy novels like 'Jade City' where clan wars tear apart the society. Another theme in 'The Poppy War' is power and how it corrupts. Similar to this, in 'The Grace of Kings', characters are constantly vying for power and it leads to many problems. However, 'The Poppy War' also has a strong theme of drug use and its impact on a nation, which is not as common in other Chinese fantasy novels.

Well, 'The Poppy War' focuses on themes like survival in a brutal world. This is somewhat like in 'The Sword of Kaigen' where the characters have to fight against difficult odds. But 'The Poppy War' stands out with its exploration of imperialism and colonialism within a fantasy Chinese setting. In contrast, many other Chinese fantasy novels focus more on internal power struggles within a single kingdom or empire, like in 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' where the focus is more on the personal and clan - based power plays.

The main themes in 'The Poppy War' include identity and self - discovery in the midst of chaos. Some Chinese fantasy novels like 'The Bone Witch' also touch on identity but in a different way. In 'The Poppy War', the protagonist's journey through war and destruction shapes her identity. Also, the theme of magic and its cost is important in 'The Poppy War'. In comparison, in 'The Emperor's Soul', the magic system is more about creation rather than the high cost and destruction that magic can bring as in 'The Poppy War'.

Definitely Harry Potter and Daisy Johnson. Harry has his magic skills and experience in fighting dark wizards, while Daisy has her Inhuman powers and combat training. They could learn a lot from each other. Harry could teach Daisy about different magical spells and Daisy could show Harry some of her cool combat moves. Their personalities are also quite different but in a way that could lead to great character development and an interesting dynamic in the story.
