Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha NganMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
My Review: This has to be one of the best books I have read this year!! It pulled me in from the very first pages and then KILLED ME!! Yep, I died within the first few pages. *They KILLED HER DOG!!* If you are looking for a book that has all the feels and will empower you then look no further than this one right here!! This is a book where women are forced to have sexual relations with a demon against their will as Paper Girls but rise up to become rebels. I really can not wait for the next book in this series!!
The story to this book started off and never failed on its steam. So many books today are all over the place with pacing but this one did it very well. I was never bored and I never wanted to stop reading. It was a great length and it really didn't have any parts that I would have cut out.
The characters in this OMG!! The characters in this one were great. I do really hope we find out what happened to Lei mom. She is so twisted up with her in this story and we never get an answer to what happened to her. For side characters Wren was awesome!! And so was everyone else. I really loved to hate some of the paper girls and the king. Each character had their own voice and their own strengths and weaknesses. The characters really worked hand in hand with the story to make it flow and be amazing. The demon king was a horrible person and a great villain.
The romance to this one was freaking awesome! The romance in this which is LGBT was done so well that I have to say it’s one of the BEST Romances I have read this year! It is passionate and I loved every second of it!
The world building to this one was for me more geared toward the characters. Something that I would have liked would have been more explanation about their magic system. Because, although it is in this story we really don't learn a lot about it at all.
All in all, for this one I would have to say that this was one empowering read. It's one where you just want to go out and fight the forces of evil and become like Batman or something. I really loved that the author added information to all of the Rape and other organizations. I will say that if you ever are in a situation like these girls etc. Make sure you tell someone you trust and report it! It is NEVER ok for someone to touch you without it being your choice.
Go Into This One Knowing: Violence, Sexual Abuse, Animal Murder, LGBT
